Figure 5.

Quantification of t-lectin staining does not reveal angiogenesis in the cerebral cortex of juvenile traumatic brain injury (jTBI) rats after 2 or 6 months, but a decrease in microvessel diameter. (A–D) Blood vessels were stained using a t-lectin antibody. (E) Measurement of microvessels diameter revealed a decrease of the diameter average in jTBI compared with naive animals at both time points (*P<0.05). (F) However, microvessel counting did not show any difference between conditions. NS, not significant.
