After a short description of the morphology and the present ideas of the function of the endo-endothelial fibrin and mucopolysaccharide film, respectively, of the vascular wall hitherto undertaken experimental investigations of this structure within the pathogenesis of the arteriosclerosis are summarized. The results of these investigations are contradictory. The difficulties of a morphological demonstration of changes of the endo-endothelial film going along with disturbances of the permeability as an early change of the arteriosclerosis are in the method of demonstration, in which case it is not sure, whether with the preparative and technical means used at present processes taking place on molecular level in the substances of the endo-endothelial film may really be comprehended.
