Aortic stiffness. B‐mode image sequence of the aortas was used to measure diameters and distension in Ins2Akita, ApoE−/− and Ins2Akita: ApoE−/− mice and from sex‐ and age‐matched (3 months old) C57BL/6 non‐diabetic non‐hypercholesterolaemic control mice. A‐D shows representative aorta images from sex‐ and age‐matched (3 months old) C57BL/6 non‐diabetic control mice (A), Ins2Akita mice (B), ApoE−/− mice (C) and Ins2Akita: ApoE−/− mice (D). E, The bar graph represents the mean ± SD of each relative distension (relD) values from 3 separate experiments. *P < .05 vs C57BL/6 control mice; #P < .05 vs ApoE−/− mice; §P < .05 vs Ins2Akita mice and ApoE−/− mice; N = 8 mice/group
