Brain microvascular functional capillary density in control or HFD animals after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. a Brain functional capillary density in the cerebral microcirculation of rats with metabolic syndrome (HFD-sham) or control rats (CTL-sham) after ischemia and reperfusion (CTL-IR or HFD-IR). b Representative intravital fluorescence microscopic images of the effect of ischemia and reperfusion on the brain microcirculation of CTL-IR or HFD-IR rats after intravenous administration of FITC-labeled dextran (magnification ×100) Values represent the mean ± SEM. n = 8. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 versus CTL-sham; #p < 0.05 versus CTL-IR; & p < 0.05 versus HFD-sham
