Post mortem hemotoxylin and eosin staining examining for >50% residual thrombus in the small and medium-sized arterioles within the skeletal muscle preparations as well as for degrees of perivascular and interstitial hemorrhage. The denominators represent number of total sections (up to three per rat; 6 rats in each group) in which an observation was noted. For perivascular hemorrhage assessments, all sections were summed for a final grade.
