Figure 5: Chronic blood pressure monitoring reveals sex-specific divergence of cardiovascular pathologies.

Figure 5:

Chronic radiotelemetry implants used to measure (A) conscious ambulatory blood pressure in males (top) and females (bottom), here reported as MAP. (B) LV developed pressure was measured acutely at week 7 with the use of a Millar pressure catheter. LV structure was measured using echocardiography to monitor (C) ventral wall thickness and (D) LV chamber diameter throughout the cardiac cycle. All data presented as mean ± SEM, n = 3-15/group; * p<0.05 WT 5/6Nx vs. WT Sham; # p<0.05 miR-146b−/− 5/6Nx vs. miR-146b−/− Sham; ‡ p<0.05 miR-146b−/− 5/6Nx vs. WT 5/6Nx; & p<0.05 miR-146b−/− 5/6Nx vs. WT 5/6Nx.
