The postnatal hyaloid arteries of rabbits aged between 7 and 21 days were investigated by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The artery did not yet show significant degenerating processes on the 7th day, but many cells identifiable as hyalocytes were observed in the adventitia on the 10th day. Between 13 and 15 days, the artery began to undergo a marked degeneration. The number of myofilaments decreased in most smooth muscle cells in the media and the cells were transformed, resembling fibroblasts in this cytoplasmic feature. Around 3 weeks, the vascular lumen was completely closed with almost complete loss of the endothelial cells, and the degenerating cellular components were actively phagocytized by the hyalocytes.
通过透射电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜对7至21日龄家兔的出生后玻璃体动脉进行了研究。在第7天，动脉尚未显示出明显的退化过程，但在第10天在外膜中观察到许多可识别为透明细胞的细胞。在13至15天之间，动脉开始发生明显退化。中膜中大多数平滑肌细胞的肌丝数量减少，细胞发生转变，在这种细胞质特征上类似于成纤维细胞。大约3周时，血管腔完全封闭，内皮细胞几乎完全丧失，退化的细胞成分被透明细胞积极吞噬。
