Fig 7. Effect of maternal environment and offspring diet on the structural properties of mesenteric resistance arteries from adult (31 week-old) wild type (WT) male offspring of WT-control or Leprdb/+ (db/+) dams.
(A-D) Pressure-diameter curves of blood vessels kept under passive conditions. (E-H) Cross sectional area (CSA) of the vascular wall in mesenteric arteries kept under passive conditions at different intravascular pressures. Data are means ± SEM of n = 5–7 number of animals (vessels) per treatment group combination. *P<0.05. SD, standard diet; HFD, high fat diet.
