Effect of chronic depletion of estrogens on the vascular vitamin D receptor (VDR) protein expression. Representative immunoblot and densitometric analysis data for VDR were depicted in figure 4. 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.
