  • Title: The elastic tissue of the adult dilated ureter.
    Author: Abatangelo G, Cortivo R, Daga-Gordini D, Passerini G, Pagano F.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1977 Oct; 49(5):371-4. PubMed ID: 588928.
    Abstract:
    Adult dilated ureters have been examined in order to calculate the amount of the elastic tissue. From the histological observations and by the chemical analyses performed on the extracted elastin a decrease of the elastic tissue, as compared to the normal adult ureters has been noted. In fact, in the adult normal ureters, the elastin accounts for 9% of the dry matter, while in the abnormal the elastin represents 6.5%.
