Age-related changes in the concentration of elastic fibers in different regions of the rabbit penis.
Acta Cir Bras
May 2013
Urogenital Research Unit, State University of Riode Janeiro,RJ, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how elastic fiber content in different tissues of the rabbit penis changes as the rabbits age.
- Researchers sacrificed groups of rabbits at various ages (30, 120, 240, and 730 days) and analyzed tissue samples to determine elastic fiber volume with specific staining techniques.
- Results showed a significant increase in elastic fiber content in older rabbits, especially in the corpus spongiosum, but this trend plateaued or decreased at two years old, suggesting possible age-related changes in penile tissue properties.
