title: Brain microvasculature in aging.
abstract: Integrity of the cerebral microvasculature is an important issue in aging. Mooradian has made concerted efforts to examine the biochemical properties of cerebral microvessels in aging rats. There is not a clear consensus on the alterations identified but some of these could have repercussions on vascular permeability or global perfusion during aging.
