Figure Lengend Snippet: Right ventricular (RV) function and structure of Caveolin-1 (Cav1) global knockout or Caveolin-1 endothelial-specific reconstituted male and female mice exposed to 6 weeks of hypoxia. Control (Con), Cav1 global knockout (KO), and Caveolin-1 endothelial-specific reconstituted (RC) are plotted by normoxia (Normoxia), white bars, or hypoxia (Hypo), dotted bars. (A) Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) (n = 4 – 16) (B) Right ventricular free wall thickness (RVFWT) (n = 4 – 11) (C) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy (RVH) as determined by the weight ratio of the right ventricle divided by the sum of left ventricle and septum (RV/(LV+S)) (n = 4 – 25) (D) Pulmonary acceleration time (PAT) (n = 4 – 15) (E) Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (n = 4 – 15). Post-hoc 3-way ANOVA analysis with Bonferonni’s multiple comparisons tests where *P-value < 0.05, **P-value < 0.01, ***P-value <0.001, ****P-value < 0.0001. Data presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM).
Article Snippet: Cav1 -/- (Cav1 tm1Mls /J) and B6/129SJ2 wild-type control mice were originally purchased from Jackson Labs. Cav1-RC mice ( ) were obtained from William Sessa, Yale University.
