Table 3 Quantitation of alterations in perivascular glial endfeet and basement membrane in mdx and control brain
From: Glial dystrophin-associated proteins, laminin and agrin, are downregulated in the brain of mdx mouse
Number of glial endfeet examined | Number of unswollen glial endfeet | Number of swollen glial endfeet | Basement membrane thickness | % of abluminal vessels surface covered by basement membrane | % of abluminal vessels surface covered by glial endfeet | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mdx | 114 | 7±2 | 70±9a | 180±14 nma | 43%±7 | 33±3 |
Control | 92 | 81±5b | 4±1 | 65±8.8 nm | 93%±14b | 89%±11b |
