Abstract
Vascular catecholamine fluorescence was studied in human gingival tissue obtained from subjects of different ages. An inverse relationship between fluorescence brightness and age was demonstrated. This finding was considered as possible evidence for a decline in direct sympathetic vascular control in older subjects, and its significance is discussed in the context of other age-related hanges in the sympathetic nervous system.Keywords
