Morphometric data of pressurized uterine arteries from Rgs2+/+, Rgs2+/−, and Rgs2−/− mice at 80 mmHg in Ca2+‐free PSS
| Parameter | Rgs2+/+ | Rgs2+/− | Rgs2−/− |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. of arteries | 14 | 7 | 7 |
| Average wall thickness, μm | 15.1 ± 6.3 | 13 ± 5.69 | 12.7 ± 5.1 |
| Lumen diameter, μm | 203 ± 45 | 184 ± 29 | 201 ± 40 |
| Cross sectional area, ×1,000 μm2 | 10.2 ± 3.9 | 7.6 ± 2.7 | 8.3 ± 2.6 |
| Media/lumen ratio | 0.16 ± 0.12 | 0.15 ± 0.09 | 0.14 ± 0.09 |
Data are means ± s.e. Rgs2+/+, mice with wild‐type Rgs2; Rgs2+/−, Rgs2 heterozygous knockout mice; Rgs2−/−, homozygous knockout mice.
