Brain microvasculature in aging.
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.
