Human aortic elastin degrades with age in males but not females

In 17 human thoracic aorta samples, elastin stiffness, straightness, and lamellar length decreased significantly with age in males (p < 0.05) but not females.In 17 human thoracic aorta samples, elastin stiffness, straightness, and lamellar length decreased significantly with age in males (p < 0.05) but not females.
