Effect of aging and atherosclerosis on the compliance of peripheral carotid arteries expressed as strain (%) from 3- and 6-mo wild-type (WT) mice and ATX mice (A) and following 3-mo exposure to voluntary physical training (PT) or treatment with either IVA or METO (B). Results are means ± SE of 7–16 mice. *P < 0.05 vs. 6-mo WT; ϕP < 0.05 IVA vs. ATX; αP < 0.05 METO vs. ATX.
