Blood-brain barrier disruption to large and small molecules following blast. (a) A significant increase in brain/serum ratios of 14C-sucrose, (b) and 99mTc-albumin was observed in whole brain after 1X blast. (c) A significant increase in 14C-sucrose was also observed after 2X blast. (d) However, a significant increase in BBB permeability to albumin was at 0.25 h and 72 h after 2X blast, but not 24 h. One-way ANOVA post-hoc Dunnett’s. Values represent mean ± SEM. 1X blast: Sham (n = 7), mTBI 0.25 h (n = 8), 24 h (n = 8), and 72 h (n = 9). 2X blast: Sham (n = 22), mTBI 0.25 h (n = 5), 24 h (n = 11), and 72 h (n = 13). (*p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001).
