Figure 1Pressure-diameter relationships for segments of arteries from
Eln+/+ and
Eln+/– mice. Pressure-OD curve in the ascending aorta (
a), in the abdominal aorta (
b), in the carotid artery (
c), and in the renal artery (
d). Pressure-ID curve in the ascending aorta (
e), in the abdominal aorta (
f), in the carotid artery (
g), and in the renal artery (
h). *Significant difference (
P ≤ 0.05, LSD test) between
Eln+/+ and
Eln+/– vessel diameters at the corresponding pressure. Mean values ± SEM,
n = 4–8 for each vessel type. Solid lines,
Eln+/+; dotted lines,
Eln+/–.
