mbTBI decreases astrocyte coverage around brain capillaries after mbTBI. GFAP and SMI-71 double immunostaining was performed to assess astrocyte coverage around the brain capillary. A, B, C Representative confocal micrographs (GFAP-green; SMI-71-red; Hoechst-blue) and respective quantification of GFAP around SMI-71+ brain capillary from amygdala (sham and mbTBI; n = 3 rats/group) of male and female rats (25 vessels from each rat brain amygdala region; n = 75 vessels/group) at 24 h post-mbTBI. D Representative high-resolution micrographs (GFAP-green; SMI-71-red; Hoechst-blue) of brain vessel and surrounding astrocytes from male sham and mbTBI rats. Data represented as Mean ± SEM. P ≤ 0.0001 **** two-tailed, unpaired t test B, C
