초록

Age differences in the skin structure have been studied in young (one year-old) and aged (five and a half year-old) frogs, Xenopus laevis. The epidermis in young frogs is made up of an average of 6.3 and 4.7 layers of epithelial cells at abdominal and dorsal surfaces, respectively. In aged frogs, the number of respective cell layers at abdominal and dorsal surfaces increases to 8.8 and 5.6. The thickness of the dermis (spongiosum) in aged frogs is decreased 25% on the abdominal side (from 267㎛ to 207㎛) but is increased by 11 % on the dorsal side (from 275㎛ to 305㎛). The nucleolar index and ³H-uridine incorporation, as judged by radioautography, by epithelial cells are drastically reduced in aged frogs.
