Vessel network complexity is decreased with time but not affected by diet. Vessel network complexity analysis of the axial surface of the brain, based on the distribution of the local fractal dimension of vessels. Results are shown for the standard (A-C), n-3 (D-F), and n-6 (G-I) diets. LFD curves are shown at 24 and 72 h for both saline and LPS conditions (A, D, G). Skewness values of the LFD curves (B, E, H) represent the complexity of the vessel network. Kurtosis values represent the number of vessels (C, F, I). Representation of different complexity levels are shown in (J)
