A: changes in diameter of mesenteric arteries of male ERα-KO mice in response to initial shear stress of 10 dyne/cm2 before (day 1) and after transfection with and without aromatase short-interfering RNA (siRNA; 25 nM) for 72 h (day 4), followed by treatment of control (Ctr) vessels with PPOH or IBTX (n = 6 in each group). *Significant difference from control; #significant difference from day 1. B: aromatase mRNA expression in mesenteric arteries of male ERα-KO mice before and after transfection with and without aromatase siRNA for 72 h (n = 5). *Significant difference from controls. C: original tracing and summarized data showing aromatase protein expression in mesenteric arteries of male ERα-KO mice before and after transfection with and without aromatase siRNA for 72 h (n = 2 blots). *Significant difference from controls.
