Study of the Biomechanical and Histological Properties of the Thoracic Aorta of Diabetic Rats and Exposed to Cigarette Smoke
The biomechanical properties related to resistance are lower in DSG than in SG while elasticity, histological changes related to collagen fiber, elastic fiber, and inflammatory process, and MMP-9 activity of the aortic wall of rats do not show differences between CG and DG, SG, and DSG. Based on the methodology employed in this study, it appears that the thoracic aorta is resilient against aneurysm development.
