Figure 5. Amlodipine attenuated AngII-induced ascending aortic aneurysms.

Ascending aortic areas were measured using an en face method. Circles and triangles are individual measurements, diamonds are means of groups, and error bars are SEMs. Representative images of aortas are shown below the graph. Statistical analyses were performed using nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test. * denotes P=0.001 for comparison between AngII + vehicle and saline + vehicle groups, and ^# denotes P=0.03 for comparison between AngII + amlodipine and AngII + vehicle groups.
