Abstract
The finding that increased cerebrovascular permeability in acute hypertension is associated with reduction of endothelial surface charge [3] suggests the occurrence of alterations in factors contributing to charge. About 50% of the net negative charge on endothelium is thought to be due to sialyl residues [2]. Since no published reports are available of the distribution of sialyl and other monosaccharide residues on cerebral endothelium this ultrastructural study was undertaken.
