Table 1.
Incidence of AAA formation in mice after 10-day Ang II infusion
Rupture incidence | luminal diameter* | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Baseline (mm) | % change (saline) | % change (Ang II) | ||
ApoE−/− | 12.5% | 1.1 ± 0.04 | −2.9 ± 2.0% | +76.6 ± 7.7% |
GX DKO | 12.5% | 1.1 ± 0.02 | −9.1 ± 5.1% | +26.3 ± 8.6%† |
Data are mean ± SE; n = 4 for saline infusions and n = 8 for Ang II infusions
p = 0.001 compared to Ang II-infused apoE−/− mice.
