Bosnian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2019 Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of arteries and it affects the structure and function of all three layers of the coronary artery wall. Current theories suggest that the dysfunction of endothelial cells is one of the initial steps in the development of atherosclerosis. The view that the tunica intima normally consists of a single layer

Quantitative analysis of the elastic fiber in the tunica media at the carotid bifurcation
Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica, 2018 In this study, the results of our previously reported technique of quantitative analysis by using microscopic image analysis of tissue image slices to calculate the proportion of the area of the tunica media occupied by of elastic fibers was compared with Janzen et al.'s technique at the carotid bifurcation.

Vasa Vasora in the Tunica Media of Goat Aorta [PDF]
International Journal of Morphology, 2011 El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la distribucion de vasa vasora en la tunica media de diversas partes de la aorta de cabra, ya que esto influye en las propiedades fisicas y la aparicion de enfermedades. Las muestras se obtuvieron de 16 cabras machos adultos sanos (Capra hircus) desde la porcion ascendente del arco aortico, segmentos toracicos ...

Interlinkages in the Tunica Media of Goat Aorta [PDF]
International Journal of Morphology, 2010 Los relaciones e interconexiones entre los distintos componentes de la pared aortica influyen en sus propiedades fisicomecanicas y en las alteraciones funcionales que se producen en la enfermedad y el envejecimiento. La cabra es un modelo adecuado para el estudio de las enfermedades cardiovasculares, pero los detalles de la organizacion propia de la ...

Mechanical contribution of vascular smooth muscle cells in the tunica media of artery [PDF]
Nanotechnology Reviews, 2019 AbstractThe stiffness of arterial wall in response to cardiovascular diseases has been associated with the changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins,i.e., collagen and elastin. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) helped to regulate the ECM reorganizations and thus contributed to arterial stiffness.

Cellular Heterogeneity of the Vascular Tunica Media [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 1997 Following arterial injury in adult humans and other mammals, there occurs a thickening of the intimal layer of the vessel wall due to migration of cells from the tunica media and proliferation of these migrated cells, along with any resident intimal cells.

Decreased collagen VI in the tunica media of pulmonary vessels during exposure to hypoxia: a novel step in pulmonary arterial remodeling. [PDF]
Pulm Circ, 2019 The development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension is characterized by the structural remodeling of pulmonary arteries. However, the relationship between changes of arterial cells and the extracellular matrix remains unclear.

Protein malnutrition during lactation affects thoracic aortic tunica media thickness in Wistar rat pups. [PDF]
Acta Cir Bras, 2021 Purpose: To evaluate the morphological effects of a low-protein diet during maternal lactation on the offspring’s thoracic aorta. Methods: Two female Wistar rats were mated with male of the same species at 4 months of age.

Tunica media remodeling in mesenteric arteries of hypertensive rats [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 1996 The tunica media of the vascular wall is a composite material comprised of smooth muscle cells and fibrous and nonfibrous matrix proteins.Using morphometric techniques, this study quantifies the cell and matrix composition of normotensive (Wistar-Kyoto) and spontaneously hypertensive rat mesenteric arteries.The data show that the superior mesenteric ...
