Body weight, vessel diameter and remodeling indices.

<p>Body weight and vascular parameters were measured at 6 weeks and 5 months of age. Note the weight of WKY/NTac rats is twice that of the other WKY sublines at 6 weeks of age. Other parameters were measured on cannulated mesenteric arteries at 100 mmHg under fully dilated conditions. Each group consists of n≥5 animals. From each animal 2 vessels were measured and averaged. Data are mean ± SEM. Symbols indicate P-value <0.05, corrected for multiple testing using Tukey’s post hoc test.</p><p>*NCrl vs. NHsd, †NCrl vs. NTac, ‡NHsd vs. NTac of the same age.</p><p>*NCrl vs. NHsd, §NCrl vs. SP, ¥NHsd vs. SP, #WKY vs. SHR of the same age.</p><p>Body weight, vessel diameter and remodeling indices.
