Résumé : |
Elastin is the main extensible protein which allows reversible stretching of the skin (Mier and Cotton, 1976). The elastic recoil of elastin is provided by the hydrophobic domains within the protein. When elastin is stretched the hydrophobic regions come in contact with water decreasing entropy. Then, when the tension is released, the hydrophobic regions reaggregate and expel the water, and the entropy increases which drives the movement (mecham, 1999). Elastin can be histologically viewed using the stains orcein, or resorcin and fuchsin. It appears as a web like, branched fibrillar structure, in which very fine fibres branch from the main web of fibres in the dermis and extend into the epidermis as barely resolvable "fibrelets" (Montagna and Parakkal, 1974). More elastin appears in the grain region in comparison to deeper within the skin with some elastin appearing again at the flesh side of the corium region. Elastin comprises about 2.7 % of the dry matter in the grain layer (Keller and Heidemann, 1989). |
