3D simulation of blood flow, oxygen, and VEGF distribution during the single-bout exercise: A) 2D cross section of skeletal muscle: gray circles represent fibers and red circles represent capillaries; B) Blood flow velocity distribution in skeletal muscle microvascular network; C) Oxygen distribution throughout the tissue; D) VEGF secretion level along the muscle fibers; E) total VEGFR-bound VEGF distribution (including both 120 and 164 isoforms) on vascular surface; and F) free VEGF concentration distribution in interstitial space.
