Abstract

âº RBC flow in single capillaries was not stationary. âº RBC redistribution at branches of capillaries without change in diameter. âº RBC flow in capillaries was decreased, occasionally stopped, by K+-induced CSD. âº Sluggish floating movements of RBCs in pertinent capillaries were visualized. âº Slow morphological change of astroglial endfeet was observed after K+ administration.
