The Protein and Lipid Composition of Arterial Elastin and Its Relationship to Lipid Accumulation in the Atherosclerotic Plaque

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Elastin preparations from intimal layers and the media of normal and atherosclerotic human aortae were analyzed for protein and lipid content. In atherosclerotic aortae, elastin from plaques was compared with elastin from adjacent normal appearing areas of the same aorta.
