Description

Morphological and biochemical analyses of age-related changes in the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) of thoroughbred horses showed a straightening of collagen-fibril orientation and a decrease in diameter with aging. Type III collagen content increased with aging. In terms of glycosaminoglcan composition, dermatan sulfate decreased and chondroitin sulfate increased. In the SDFT of thoroughbred horses, morphological age-related changes in collagen fibrils are accompanied by changes in biochemical composition.
