Effect of Aging, Sex, and Gene (Fbln5) on Arterial Stiffness of Mice: 20 Weeks Adult Fbln5-knockout Mice Have Older Arteries than 100 Weeks Wild-Type Mice
2023-06-01
Abstract excerpt
The arterial stiffening is a strong independent predictor of cardiovascular risk and has been used to characterize the biological age of arteries (‘arterial age’). Here we revealed that the Fbln5 gene knockout (Fbln5 -/- ) significantly increases the arterial stiffening for both male and female mice. We also showed that the arterial stiffening increases with natural aging, but the stiffening effect of Fbln5 -/-...
