...we hypothesize that local inflammation created by capillary rupturing is the most likely candidate because, in addition to a number of studies linking TMLR-induced inflammation to neovascularization (31-36), other studies have demonstrated that arteriogenesis may be stimulated either by the systemic injection of monocyte chemoattractant protein-I (38,39) or by the amplification of local monocyte recruitment (40) through the administration of lipopolysaccharide....
