Figure 2. Exclusion of FITC-dextran 70, not RBCs, decreases during BK and SNP superfusion in control mice.

Figure 2

Top panel, RBC exclusion zone, used as measure of glycocalyx thickness, decreases at RBCs velocities < 100 μm s−1, and is not affected by BK and SNP. Bottom panel, FITC-dextran 70 exclusion zone is independent of RBC velocity, and decreases during vasodilator administration.
