Figure 1. Age-related functional vessel parameters are changed in AhR-deficient mice.

PWV in young and old AhR-deficient mice (AhR ko, grey bars) and their wildtype littermates (wt, black bars) was measured as described in the methods section. Young and old AhR-deficient mice show significantly decreased PWV compared to their aged-matched wildtype littermates (mean ± SEM, n = 4–8 per group, *p < 0.05 vs. wt young, ^#p < 0.05 vs. AhR ko old, unpaired Student’s t-test).
