Protein elastin is used to made elastic fiber, component of connective tissue that found abundant in blood vessels, bones, tendon and skin. The effect should be prominent in those organs.

Aorta is the biggest artery blood vessels and it need more elasticity to withstand the pressure of the ventricle. Less elasticity makes aorta become enlarged. The bone will lose density and become thinner. The tendon in heart valve will be weaken and might cause the heart valve disease. The skin will lose elasticity, so it will be easier to stretch.
