The regeneration of rabbit aortic endothelium was studied by autoradiography using 3H-thymidine. A decrease in the 3H-thymidine labelling index and in the mitotic rate with advancing age were found but no significant differences in the endothelial cell turnover between aortic segments with and without flow-mechanical stresses.
