Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Genetic variations between C57Bl/6 mouse substrains are highly relevant to the investigation of cardiovascular disease. We here assessed whether these variations have an impact on the incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in C57Bl/6J and 6 N mice. METHODS: AAA were induced by subcutaneous infusion of 1500 ng/kg*min Angiotensin-II for four weeks in six-month-old male CB57Bl/6J and 6N...
