Figure 4. Effects of diet x ART interaction on arterial wall-to-lumen ratios and wall cross-sectional areas.

Figure 4

(A) Wall to lumen ratios obtained under passive conditions (Calcium-free) and at different intravascular pressures in mesenteric resistance arteries isolated from mice fed a WD or CD and obtained by natural birth (No ART) or the use of ART. Wall to lumen ratios were significantly greater (*P≤0.05) in ART-WD vs. No ART-WD arteries. (B) Wall cross-sectional areas (CSA) obtained under passive conditions (Calcium-free) and at different intravascular pressures in mesenteric resistance arteries isolated from mice fed a WD or CD and obtained by natural birth (No ART) or the use of ART. CSA were significantly greater (*P≤0.05) in ART-WD vs. No ART-WD arteries. Data are means ± SEM.
