Abstract

Argyrophilic portion of endothelial glycocalyx in lymph capillaries from the central tendon of rabbit diaphragm was examined. It is shown that optical density along the perimeter of endotheliocyte is unequal and depends on the cell shape (scalloped, fusiform, or irregular). Aseptic inflammation is characterized by a marked increase in high-density zones and expansion of argyrophilic glycocalyx. It is proposed to consider argyrophilic glycocalyx as an independent structural and functional unit of the endothelium.
