Aortic connective tissue in ageing--a biochemical study.

L Andreotti, A Bussotti, D Cammelli

    Angiology
    |December 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Aging aorta tissue shows increased collagen and sugar content, with stable elastin levels. This biochemical shift occurs with age, impacting aortic connective tissue composition over time.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Connective Tissue Research
    • Aging Studies

    Background:

    • The aorta's connective tissue composition changes with age.
    • Understanding these changes is crucial for cardiovascular health.
    • Previous studies have indicated alterations in aortic tissue components during aging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the biochemical changes in aortic connective tissue related to aging.
    • To quantify collagen, elastin, and total sugar content in relation to age.
    • To determine if elastin content varies with age in the aorta.

    Main Methods:

    • Biochemical analysis of aortic connective tissue samples.
    • Samples obtained from 22 individuals aged 9 to 84 years.
    • Analysis performed on tissue collected post-necropsy following traumatic deaths.

    Main Results:

    • Collagen content (mg/cm2) significantly increased with age.
    • Total sugar content (mg/cm2) also showed an increase in aged aorta samples.
    • Elastin content (mg/cm2) remained relatively constant across the studied age range.

    Conclusions:

    • Aortic aging is characterized by increased collagen and sugar, not elastin.
    • These biochemical alterations in the aorta suggest a remodeling process with age.
    • The findings provide insights into the age-related changes in the structural integrity of the aorta.
