[Study of oxytalanic fibers of striae: variations with relation to the skin]

Strie distansae have been studies since the last century. However, many aspects like oxitalanic fiber variations in the striae, were still to be studied. This was the purpose of our work. Our results showed that in the striae, there is a decrease in the number of oxitalanic fibers when compared to normal skin. We also found a reduction in the arborecent aspect of these fibers as well as tissular fragility. The pathogenesis of striae distansae is still obscure, but the study of oxitalanic fibers can contribute to the understanding of its treatment as well as the compression of cutaneous aging.
