Basemnent Membrane Changes
Nineteen dogs were given 13'I and later administered appropriate amounts of methimazole or propylthiouracil daily. Over a period of 4-7 years several developed severe clinical features of myxedema. The myocardium and skeletal muscle of these severely myxedematous dogs displayed an array of morphologic changes on an ultrastructural level. Particularly interesting was the twoto threefold increase...
متن کاملAlterations of ultrastructures and anionic sites in basement membranes of myocardial cells and capillaries in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease due to tetralogy of Fallot.
Electron microscopic cytochemical studies of the basement membranes of myocardial cells and capillaries were performed in 13 patients with tetralogy of Fallot who were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included 7 patients in the early stage of the disease, ranging in age from 7 months to 5 years. Group 2 consisted of 6 patients in the far advanced stage of the disease, ranging in age from 30 to 46...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase activity is required for activity-induced angiogenesis in rat skeletal muscle.
Proteolysis of the capillary basement membrane is a hallmark of inflammation-mediated angiogenesis, but it is undetermined whether proteolysis plays a critical role in the process of activity-induced angiogenesis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute the major class of proteases responsible for degradation of basement membrane proteins. We observed significant elevations of mRNA and prot...
متن کاملType-1 pericytes participate in fibrous tissue deposition in aged skeletal muscle.
In older adults, changes in skeletal muscle composition are associated with increased fibrosis, loss of mass, and decreased force, which can lead to dependency, morbidity, and mortality. Understanding the biological mechanisms responsible is essential to sustaining and improving their quality of life. Compared with young mice, aged mice take longer to recover from muscle injury; their tissue fi...
متن کاملUnorthodox angiogenesis in skeletal muscle.
OBJECTIVE The morphological pattern of angiogenesis occurring in mature, differentiated skeletal muscle in response to chronically increased muscle blood flow, muscle stretch or repetitious muscle contractions was examined to determine (a) whether capillary neoformation follows the generally accepted temporal paradigm, and (b) how the growth pattern is influenced by mechanical stimuli. METHOD...
