a–r Microvascular parameters on days 7, 14, and 21 after tumor implantation measured in three regions of interest (two in the border zone and one in the center zone of the tumor) of LnCap, Du145, or Pc3 cells in the dorsal skinfold chamber (DSC) and in the femur window (FW) as assessed by intravital fluorescence microscopy and computer-assisted image analysis. The black bars represent the FW group, and the white bars represent the DSC group. All values are presented as the mean ± SD. (* p < 0.05). Abbreviations: PERM, effective vascular permeability; Vmean, centerline velocity; BFR, blood perfusion rate; TPR, tissue perfusion rate; Mean D, mean diameter; VD, vessel density
