a Representative images of the gross appearance of cerebral edema and Evans blue leakage. Scale bar: 1 cm. b The brain water contents in different groups were measured. c Statistical analysis of Evans blue extravasation using spectrofluorometry. d Representative images and quantification analysis of TRITC-dextran tracer extravasation assay. Scale bar: 100 μm. e Representative confocal microscopy and quantification analysis showing the extravascular fibrinogen (red) and albumin (red) leakage through lectin-labeled (green) capillaries. Scale bar: 100 μm. f Representative transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and quantification analysis of vesicle number in brain endothelial cells. Scale bar: 1000 nm. Graphs represent the individual data points, and data are presented as mean ± SEM. Gross images of water content and Evans blue extravasation are representative of n = 8 (a, b, c) biologically independent animals. Confocal and TEM images are representative of n = 3 (d, e, f) independent animals. P-value (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001) was calculated by one-way (b, c, d, f) or two-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc test for multiple comparisons (e).
