Thromboemboli presentation in vessels (a–F). In control rats, vascular thromboemboli presented within the lumen of large retroperitoneal vessels, abdominal aorta, and inferior vena cava (VCI) in all the time periods (15 min (a), 30 min (c), 60 min (e)) following laurate application into inferior caval vein. Thrombi consisted of fibrin and blood cells. In contrast, no thrombi were observed in treated animals. No thromboemboli were observed in BPC 157-treated group (15 min (B), 30 min (D), 60 min (F).
