Abstract

The influence of maturation and aging on mechanical parameters was studied in rat skin by in vitro and in vivo methods. Parameters indicating strength increased during maturation to a high degree and decreased to a lower degree during aging. Parameters indicating viscosity decreased during the maturation and aging period. Complete restitution after repeated extension was even better in old animals than in young animals.
