Changes, relative to genotype-specific baseline values, in outer diameter ($\Delta d_{\mathrm{o}}$—top) and axial force ($\Delta f_{\mathrm{T}}$—bottom) after 15 min of high K⁺ contraction at 70 (circle), 90 (triangle), and 110 (square) mmHg and different values of axial stretch: ${\lambda }_{\mathrm{z}}=1.25, 1.30, \text{and}\hspace{0.17em}1.35$ for Fbln5^−/− (dashed line) and ${\lambda }_{\mathrm{z}}=1.40-1.45, 1.50, \text{and}\hspace{0.17em}1.60$ for Fbln5^+/+ mice (solid line)
