Expression of selected genes and proteins in aortic ECs. (A) Bar graphs displaying upregulation of the expression of Lars2 as well as genes involved in the Wnt pathway at 3 months (top) and upregulation of S100A8 and S100A9 at 18-months in males relative to females by quantitative PCR (bottom). (B) Western blot analysis confirming the expression of Lars2 as well as genes involved in the Wnt pathway are expressed at the protein level (top) and displayed as relative fold-difference between males and females in a bar graph (bottom). ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; and *P < 0.01.
