The pattern of MAO-B distribution in capillaries and astrocytes ((a) and (b)). (b) General pattern of MAO-B distribution in blood vessels and nearby astrocytes. Arrow indicates the insert. (a) Insert from (b), revealing at larger magnification a part of a capillary with a pericyte and an astrocyte cell body (both shown by arrows) with an endfoot process extending toward the vessel. Scale: 10 μm in (a), 100 μm, in (b).
