Unilateral hindlimb ischemia (HLI) was induced on 9-week-old female Swiss mice (Janvier Labs, n = 8) after femoral artery excision under 2% isoflurane anesthesia as previously described [40 (link)]. LASER Doppler perfusion imaging (Perimed, Craponne, France) was used to assess revascularization from day 0 to day 21 after surgery. Perfusion measurements were expressed as an ischemic-to-contralateral ratio of hind limb blood flow normalized to the day of surgery.
