Table 1.
Frequency of endothelial fenestrations (f), junctional complexes (j.c.) and pinocytotic vesicles (p.v.) in intraneural and perineural capillaries during murine embryonic development.
Day of embryonic development | Intraneural capillaries | Perineural capillaries | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
f | j.c. | p.v. | f | j.c. | p.v. | |
E9 | No capillaries present | 0.9 | 3.2 | 2.0 | ||
E10 | nd | 1.7 | 2.9 | 0.13 | 2.9 | 1.9 |
E12 | nd | 2.58 | 2.33 | nd | 3.25 | 3.0 |
E14 | nd | 2.29 | 1.57 | nd | 2.43 | 3.29 |
E17 | nd | 2.25 | 1.63 | nd | 2.75 | 4.13 |
Values were determined as follows: number of f, j.c., or p.v. divided by the number of capillaries examined (7–17 capillaries; mean values are shown). n.d., not detected (Bauer et al., 1993).
