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.

Aged perivascular fat worsens aortic stiffness in mice

Ex vivo tests in young and old mice showed that intact perivascular fat increased aortic stiffness only in older animals, alongside higher fat collagen levels.Ex vivo tests in young and old mice showed that intact perivascular fat increased aortic stiffness only in older animals, alongside higher fat collagen levels.
