Increased expression of pAKT protein in human AAA. (A) Representative human aortic histology images for pAKT staining. Original magnification: ×20 and ×100. (B) pAKT+ cells in media and adventitia were counted on each HPF (100×), and data present as mean and SD per HPF. n = 24 for aneurysm group and n = 6 for normal aorta group. Nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. *P < 0.05 vs aneurysm group. (C) Protein levels of pAKT in human aneurismal tissues and normal aorta tissues were determined by Western Blot. Ao is representative for aorta and An is representative for aneurysm. Original uncropped western blots are provided in a Supplementary Figure  1. Data present as mean and SD, n = 24 for aneurysm group and n = 6 for normal aorta group. Nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. *P < 0.05 vs aneurysm group. HPF, High-power field.
