Figure 1

Influence of gender on aortic regurgitation in aged normocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic mice. Top panel: typical angiographies showing aortic regurgitation in the male (right image) but not in the female (left image). Bottom panel: scatter plot showing the severity of aortic regurgitation (grades: 0 = none, 1 = light, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe) in males compared with females in both C57 and ApoE KO groups. Horizontal bars represent the median for each group. p values were calculated using the Fisher's exact test and indicate statistical significance between proportions. The number of animals per group is shown in parentheses.
