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
H. Dong, J. Ferruzzi, M. Liu, L. P. Brewster, B. G. Leshnower, R. L. Gleason
This study shows that Fbln5 gene knockout in mice significantly increases arterial stiffness, equivalent to aging 51 years in humans, and introduces a new UFD model for more accurate biomechanical analysis.
