Modification of glycocalyx components during sepsis. Representative light microphotograph of MAA (Maackia amurensis agglutinin) lectin histochemistry in mesoceacum of sham-operated (on the left side) and CLP (cecal ligation and puncture)-treated rats (on the right side) at 7 hours after surgery. In blue, MAA reactivity (indicating the presence of sialic acid linked α2,3 to galactose, arrows) was intense in mesoceacal vessels of sham operated rats (left side) and reduced in vessels of CPL rats (right side). Scale bar = 25 μm. Courtesy of Eleonora Sgambati.
