Abstract

The contents of water and lipids were studied in human cerebral arteries in relation to the aging. Main cerebral arteries were separated from main portions of Willis's circles and main branches of 295 subjects at various ages. The results showed that the water contents ranged from 72 to 74%, the greatest being observed during the 5th decade. Total lipid, cholesterol-ester and triglyceride contents increased more in older cerebral arteries than younger ones. Significant differences in the cholesterol ester content with aging was obtained during the 6th and 7th decades (p<0.05).
