Residual strain and unloaded dimensions of the AA and DA from newborn Lox mice. A: genotype accounts for significant variance between groups for the in vivo stretch ratio (IVSR) (&P = 0.045); however, there was no significant difference between Lox−/− and Lox+/+ aortic segments at either vascular location. B: genotype accounts for significant variance in opening angle (&P = 0.0001). Lox−/− opening angle was significantly smaller than Lox+/+ in both the AA (*P = 0.001) and DA (*P = 0.01). C: unloaded wall thickness is not different between Lox−/− and Lox+/+ genotypes or between AA and DA locations. D: vascular location accounted for significant variance in unloaded outer diameter (#P = 0.0007), and there was a significant difference in Lox−/− mice between AA and DA locations (*P = 0.0027). There was no difference between genotypes at either vascular location. n = 5–8 per group.
