This study demonstrates the existence of fenestrated capillaries in the microvascular bed of mice mesentery. The 26.6% incidence of fenestrated capillaries observed in this study is similar to that found in rabbit diaphragmatic peritoneum. Fenestral diameters are too large to be identified as the large pore of Pappenheimer's theory. They appear to be too frequent to become the predicted large pore. Peritoneal permeability should be analyzed on the basis that molecular transfer occurs through multiple ways.
