Quantification of the initial lymphatic network in normal human forearm skin using fluorescence microlymphography and stereological methods
AWB Stanton, P Kadoo, PS Mortimer, JR Levick - Microvascular research, 1997 - Elsevier
Fluorescence microlymphography enables the visualization of the initial lymphatic network
in human dermisin vivo. In order to determine which objective, measurable parameters are
likely to be of value in future studies, microlymphangiograms were obtained from normal
forearm skin of eight men and nine women of a range of ages and analyzed stereologically
to calculate:(1) lymphatic length density at a specified radial distance, r, from the site of
injection of the fluorescent dye (LDr, cm− 1);(2) maximum lymphatic density (LDmax, cm …
