Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes in microvasculature lectin fluorescence pattern. A: the murine VA-VL brain area studied; B: micrograph shows the microvasculature profile in the ND + veh control group; C: ND + Stx2 treatment; D: HF + veh treatment; E: HF + Stx2 treatment; F: HC + veh treatment; G: HC + Sxt2 treatment; H: HF + HC + veh; I: HF + HC + Stx2; J: negative control by not adding Lycopersicum esculentum lectins; K: number of lectin-immunopositive particles; L: size of microvessels (μm2); M: area occupied by microvessels (%); arrow in B: a conserve microvessel; arrowheads in E: fragmented microvessels. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test, p = 0.0001, n = 5. Scale bar in J applies to all panels.
Article Snippet: In all assays, statistical analyses were conducted using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni post hoc test (GraphPad Prism 8, GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) between i.v. treatments (control and Stx2).
