By 42 days, LCWE caused fragmentation of the internal and external elastic lamina.
Smith, E.B. Transport, interactions and retention of plasma proteins in the intima: the barrier function of the internal elastic lamina.
Cyan-colored fibers are from autofluorescence and are likely elastin, as shown by similar autofluorescence in the elastic lamina of a nearby artery (inset) (40×).
Light microscopic examination of arterial specimens revealed partial disruption of internal elastic lamina.
The thickness of elastic lamina was irregular, and the basement membrane was, in part, incomplete.
At the end of the follow-up period, formation of neointima with regeneration of the internal elastic lamina was demonstrated.
The intima, internal elastic lamina and adventitia are normal.
A atheroma, TM tunica media, arrow head, internal elastic lamina.
RESULTS: Ad-AST treatment significantly (p = 0.05) increased apoptosis of macrophages inside the internal elastic lamina.
The internal elastic lamina is always preserved, and the media and adventitia are normal.
Red arrows mark the internal elastic lamina (single arrow) and the outer border of the media (double arrow).
