Hyaluronidase infusion significantly increased glycocalyx thickness in sham and blasted rats. Mean area of the glycocalyx quantified from the cerebral cortex of rats from each treatment group and expressed as a percentage of the total capillary lumen area (B). Capillaries from hyaluronidase infused rats showed a significant increase in percent lumen area of the glycocalyx in both sham exposed (HC, 4.886%) and blast exposed (HB, 6.067%) groups when compared to saline infused sham exposed (SC, 3.262%) and blast exposed (SB, 3.517%) groups. Asterisk denotes global significance between saline and hyaluronidase treatment groups (3.389% vs. 5.47%, Two-way ANOVA p = 0.0008).
