Maximum aortic diameters of mice exposed to saline or angiotensin II that did or did not develop macroscopic aneurysms used in the microarray experiment (study 2).

Group	Diameter (mm)
	Arch	Thoracic	Suprarenal	Infrarenal	Average Maximum#
Angiotensin II and aortic aneurysm (n = 5)	1.61 ± 0.18	1.11 ± 0.15	2.06 ± 0.48	0.72 ± 0.18	1.38 ± 0.17
Angiotensin II and no aortic aneurysm (n = 7)	1.34 ± 0.10	0.9 ± 0.10	1.13 ± 0.19	0.65 ± 0.09	1.0 ± 0.07
Saline controls (n = 6)	1.35 ± 0.11	1.16 ± 0.11	0.97 ± 0.08	0.67 ± 0.06	1.0 ± 0.06

Data represent mean values ± standard deviation; #calculated by averaging maximum diameters for all 4 aorta regions in each mouse.
