Figure 2. GX sPLA2 deficiency protects apoE−/− mice from Ang II-induced AAAs.

Figure 2

Male apoE−/− and GX DKO mice were infused with 1,000 ng kg−1 min−1 Ang II for 28 days. AAAs were assessed by (A) in vivo ultrasound imaging before and after Ang II infusion to determine the percent increase in luminal diameter of abdominal aortas; and (B) by computer-assisted morphometric analyses ex vivo. The images shown are representative aortas after 28-day infusion. Each symbol represents one animal; bars represent means. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01.
