Popis: The aim of this study was to substantiate the hypothesis as to whether an altered metabolism of type I and type III collagen should be included as pathophysiological considerations of inguinal hernia development or not. Therefore, fascia transversalis derived from patients with indirect hernias (n=9), direct hernias (n=7) and from controls (n=7) were investigated both by immunohistochemistry and protein analysis (Western Blot). Both immunohistochemical analysis and Western Blot analysis showed that the ratio of the relative amounts of type I to type III collagen was significantly decreased in the fascia transversalis of patients with indirect and direct inguinal hernias compared with controls (p
