Fig. 5From: Endothelial edema precedes blood-brain barrier breakdown in early time points after experimental focal cerebral ischemiaElectron micrographs illustrating the presence of FITC-albumin-related DAB-positive endothelial vesicles (arrow heads) and caveolae (arrows), which became apparent from 1 h to 4 h of pMCAO and in 4 h tMCAO after ischemia induction. Here, caveolae as well as vesicles were regularly detected in endothelial cells showing an endothelial edema (score 1). Inset: contralateral non-affected vessel.
