The endothelium of monkey and rabbit common carotid arteries subjected to ischemia was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The right carotid artery of 24 rhesus monkeys was occluded by proximal and distal placement of removable surgical clips for periods ranging from five minutes to four hours. A single clip was used to occlude the right carotid artery of 15 rabbits for periods ranging from 5 to 30 minutes. With TEM, numerous blebs, intracytoplasmic vacuoles, membranous whorls, and pseudopodia were found in the endothelium of arterial segments subjected to ischemia by double or single clipping for as little as five minutes. Following occlusion of one hour or longer, disruption of interendothelial junctions was also noted. These TEM findings were compared with earlier TEM studies of the response of endothelium to other injurious stimuli and with previous scanning electron microscopic studies in which the same ischemic models were utilized.

D007511 Ischemia A hypoperfusion of the BLOOD through an organ or tissue caused by a PATHOLOGIC CONSTRICTION or obstruction of its BLOOD VESSELS, or an absence of BLOOD CIRCULATION. Ischemias

D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002339 Carotid Arteries Either of the two principal arteries on both sides of the neck that supply blood to the head and neck; each divides into two branches, the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. Arteries, Carotid,Artery, Carotid,Carotid Artery
D004727 Endothelium A layer of epithelium that lines the heart, blood vessels (ENDOTHELIUM, VASCULAR), lymph vessels (ENDOTHELIUM, LYMPHATIC), and the serous cavities of the body. Endotheliums
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
