A new immunohistochemical method for staining capillaries and muscle fibres in 100 μm thick sections applying confocal microscopy and virtual 3D stereological grids, or tracing capillaries in virtual reality were applied to evaluate the length of capillaries within a muscle volume or the length of capillaries adjacent to muscle fibre per fibre length, fibre surface or fibre volume in masseter muscle of young and old subjects. The capillarity is well maintained in the masseter muscle in old subjects; however, vascular remodelling occurs with age, which could be a response to changed muscle function and age-related muscle fibre type transformations
