Fig 5. SOD1 deficiency and the HM/LF diet produce differential effects on smooth muscle and elastin components of the vessel wall.

Fig 5

Cross-sectional area of smooth muscle (A) and elastin (B) components in cerebral arterioles in Sod1+/+, Sod1+/-, and Sod1-/- mice on either control or HM/LF diet (n = 7–10 mice per group). Percent (%) volume density of smooth muscle (C) and elastin (D) components in cerebral arterioles (n = 7–10 mice per group). Values are mean ± SEM. *P<0.05 compared to control diet; # P < 0.05 compared to Sod1+/+ on the same diet.
