Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPHd) histochemistry and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) immunocytochemistry were performed on sections of brain after moderate traumatic brain injury. There was a pronounced increase in NADPHd reactivity and an induction of the endothelial NOS (eNOS) isoform in microvessels surrounding the cortical contusion by 24 h post-injury. This altered microvascular state may contribute to barrier breakdown and hyperemia which characterize traumatic brain injury.
