ABSTRACT
Microvascular density was determined in the supraoptic nuclei (SON) and paraventricular nuclei (PVN) of fixed brain tissue from 19 human subjects ranging in age from 30 to 85 years. Eight of these patients had hypertension. No sex- or hypertension-related differences in microvascular density were found in either the SON or PVN. However, capillary density decreased in the PVN with aging. These results indicate a differential pattern of microvascular loss in the human hypothalamus with aging.
