FIGURE 4

Effects of hypertension and exercise training on tight junction (TJ) occupancy of capillary border. (A). Electron micrographs depicting TJ extension (yellow bars) in the border of neighboring endothelial cells within PVN capillaries of sedentary (S) and trained (T) SHR and Wistar rats. Scale bars = 200 nm. Right panels show the quantification of TJ extension in the 4 experimental groups at the end of protocols within the PVN (B), NTS (C), and RVLM (D) capillaries. n = 5–7 capillaries/rat, 3 rats/group. Comparisons made by 2-way factorial ANOVA. Significance (p < 0.05) is † vs. respective S control.
