Figure 5. Valve defects in Efna1−/− adult hearts.

Figure 5

Hearts dissected from 20-week-old wild-type (+/+) mice or knockout littermates (−/−) were processed for histological analyses. Increased thickness of aortic (B) and mitral (E) valves in (−/−) mice, compared to (+/+) controls (A, D). Arrows indicate mitral or aortic valve leaflets. (C,F) Valve areas were quantified using Image J software.
