a Cumulative concentration-response curve to PE in aortic rings isolated from P16 Fbn1mgR/mgR mice (MFS; n = 12) and WT (n = 7). b KCl-induced vasoconstriction in aortic ring isolated from Fbn1mgR/mgR mice (MFS; n = 9) and WT littermates (n = 9). c PE-induced vasoconstriction normalized over KCl maximal vasoconstriction. d Cumulative concentration-response curve to U46619, a TBXA2 mimetic, in aortic rings isolated from Fbn1mgR/mgR mice (MFS; n = 5) and WT littermates (n = 6). Representative α1-AR (e) and TBXA2R (f) immunoblots of protein extracts from ascending thoracic aortas of WT and Fbn1mgR/mgR (MFS) mice with quantitative plots shown on the bottom. No-stain labeling reagent was used as an internal control. Asterisks indicate statistical significance. TBXA2, thromboxane A2.
