  1. HE-investigations of Wistar control rats revealed erythrocyte thrombi within the capillaries (n = 3 animals, 23%) and arterioles (n = 3 animals, 23%). With intravital imaging in some animals capillary (n = 2, 15%) but no arteriolar erythrocyte accumulations were suspected. Overall, results obtained from both techniques did not fit in any of the controls.
  2. 1 – existent, 0 – not existent; ** – animals without dura mater removal.
