Light microscopy does not reveal any substructure in the elastic fibres. Electron microscopy shows that elastic fibres consist of individual microfibrils, which are embedded in an amorphous matrix. The matrix accounts for about 90% of the fibre and is composed of the protein elastin.

These cells secrete the components which make up the fibres and ground substance that form the non-cellular component of the loose connective tissue. In the slide preparation above, both collagen fibres (1 - bundle of fibres circled) and elastic fibres (2 - each a single fibre) can be seen.

Elastic modulus–wall stress curves and CA rupture pressure were similar between SSAO –/– and +/+ mice, indicating no change in arterial wall stiffness or ... However, these results argue against the hypothesis that SSAO intervenes in elastic fibre organization, elastin cross-linking processes and vasoreactivity.

Aneurysms may result from the destruction of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins via inflammatory proteases, or from an alteration in elastic fibre organization, including quantitative and/or qualitative changes in some molecular components of elastic or collagen fibres [1]. Amine oxidases synthesized by...
