Difference between Grafts in Old a N D Young Rats
نویسنده
چکیده
Large numbers of branched muscle fibers occur in the freely grafted rat extensor digitorum longus muscle. The ratio of branched/non-branched muscle fibers in grafts is much higher in old (24 months) than in young (4 months) host rats. Crossage transplants show that the proportion of branched muscle fibers is related to the age of the grafted muscle and not to the age of the host. This is in contrast to mass and maximum isometric tension, in which the age of the host, rather than the age of the grafted muscle, is the determinant of the success of the muscle graft.

Aging and arteriosclerosis. I. Development of myointimal hyperplasia after endothelial injury
Old Fischer 344 rats are more susceptible to vascular lesions after arterial endothelial injury than are young animals. Thus, 20-26-mo-old Fischer 344 rats developed greater and more persistent intimal proliferative lesions than did 2-5-mo-old rats after aortic endothelial denudation. 3 d after deendothelialization, intimal thickness was increased two-fold in both old and young animals. However...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance-aerobic training on the expression of Sema3a and NCAM genes and proteins of Soleus muscle in male rats of different age groups. Methods: Thirty male Wistar rats in three groups of 2-week-old infant (n = 10), young 6-week-old (n = 10) and 96-week-old elderly (n = 10) were divided into two groups of training and control...

متن کاملEffects of aging and hypertension on endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation in rat carotid artery.
We evaluated the effects of aging and hypertension on endothelium-dependent relaxation of rat common carotid arteries using 14-week-old (young) and 11-month-old (old) Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and age-matched spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Isometric tension of common carotid artery ring segments was measured. With a resting tension of 2.0 g determined from the baseline tension-contraction...

In order to compare the regenerative ability of skeletal muscle between young (5month) and old (26 month) rats, sliced or intact extensor digitorum longus muscles were freely autografted into young and old rats and also reciprocally grafted from young to old inbred animals and vice versa . Sixty days after grafting, the transplants were analyzed for contractile and histochemical properties . Th...
