Subcellular aging markers of retinal pigment epithelium in Japanese quail Coturnix japonica

Age-related changes in the myocardium of the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) as a model of accelerated aging of the heart

“…Despite some features of physiology of the cardiovas cular system, the anatomy and morphology of the hearts of birds and mammals are generally similar [1]. Moreover, JQ is already used to analyze age related changes in the retina [2], which, like cardiovascular diseases, are associated with the pathologies of microvasculature and are precursors of the develop ment of disturbances of the cardiovascular system [3]. These data demonstrate the practicability of the inte grated study of the cardiovascular system using the same experimental objects.…”
