Type III Collagen protein levels in male and female aortas 7 and 14 days following perfusion. Elastase-perfused male aortas had significantly lower collagen III levels compared with saline control male aortas on Day 14 (P=0.021). On Day 14, elastase-perfused female aortas had significantly lower collagen III levels compared with saline control female aortas (P<0.001). Collagen III levels in elastase-perfused male aortas were significantly lower than in elastase-perfused female aortas on Days 7 and 14 (P<0.001 for each day).
