Collagen content in human ulnar nerve

Collagen content in human ulnar nerve

K R McFarlane et al. Acta Neuropathol. 1980.

Abstract

A quantitative analysis of ulnar nerve collagen in the arm and forearm was undertaken in nine subjects. While endoneurial collagen was found to be significantly increased within the cubital tunnel, extrafascicular collagen did not increase at the elbow except in two nerves showing fusiform enlargements. Renaut bodies increased in frequency at sites of high endoneurial collagen content. Morphological determinations of cross-sectional area along the ulnar nerve did not correlate with quantitative collagen data.
