Abstract excerpt
The volume fraction of synthetic organelles in smooth muscle cells from areas of atherosclerosis-free, diffuse intimal thickenings (DIT) and media of human carotid artery has been determined morphometrically. Tissue was obtained at autopsy from men and women aged 35 to 80 years, at 6 to 12 hours after death. With both sexes, the volume fraction of synthetic organelles in smooth muscle cells from the DIT was not...
