Monocyte/macrophage infiltration in the peri-muscular fascia over time. Panel a (non-ischemic) and b (ischemic) show representative images of the CD68 staining 3 days after ligation surgery. Significantly higher macrophage infiltration compared to the non-ischemic limb was found on day 3 (p < 0.001) (c). On all other days, no significant difference was found
