Effect of chronic depletion of estrogens on the vascular vitamin D metabolizing enzyme, 1α-hydroxylase (1α-OHD) protein expression. Representative immunoblot and densitometric analysis data for 1α-OHD were depicted in figure 3. Groups of wild type control (WT) and follicle stimulating hormone receptor knockout female mice (FORKO; a model of hypertension and menopause128,129) were sacrificed and thoracic aortas were used for the westernblot analysis. The values are means ± SE for 3 animals in each group. P<0.05 compared to WT group.
