Stereologic methods were used to study lung development in sheep from 2 to 171 days of age. Most growth occurs within the first 2 months when there is a threefold increase in lung volume, but allometric relationships show that this increase does not keep pace with body weight. Alveolar and capillary
We compared the ontogeny of collagen (hydroxyproline), elastin (desmosine), soluble protein, and DNA in the lungs of rate and humans during gestation and postnatal life. In humans, lung weight/body weight ratios declined faster during gestation than postnatally, whereas in rats lung weight/body weig
## Abstract We studied the development of myocytes and interstitium using perfusionβfixed left ventricles obtained from normal female Wistar rats at 5 days (__n__ = 5), 25 days (__n__ = 5), and 125 days (__n__ = 5) of age. Using designβbased stereological methods and light microscopy, we estimated
