We assessed the blood circulation function in all mice through subcutaneous microcirculation measurement. A laser Doppler imager (Moor Instruments, Axminister, UK) was used to scan the regional dermal microvascular blood flow of mice in the sham, GEG, DOX, and DOX + GEG treatment groups individually. The methods of subcutaneous microcirculation measurement used in this study mainly followed the methods of our previous study [39 (link)]. We selected and averaged the subcutaneous microcirculation measurements for each mouse obtained from at least three stable consecutive laser Doppler images.
