FIG. 5.
Diameter pressure curves and derived mechanical parameters of the ascending aorta of 6- and 24-month-old Eln+/+ and Eln+/− mice. *, +Significant difference between 6-month-old Eln+/+ and Eln+/− mice or between 24 month-old Eln+/+ and Eln+/− mice, respectively. □, △Significant difference between 6 month-old and 24 month-old values for Eln+/+ and Eln+/− mice, respectively. §Significant difference between Eln+/+ and Eln+/− of matching age at their respective mean arterial pressure. n = 5–10 in each group.
