Effect of androgen on aldosterone and high salt induced aortic aneurysms in mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Aortic aneurysm is a highly age- and sex-dependent cardiovascular disease in human, which men are at 4 to 6 times higher risk than women. We recently established an age-dependent animal model in which aldosterone and high salt administration induces aortic aneurysms in 10-month-old wildtype male mice. But whether it exhibits sex differences as in human remains unknown. The current study reports that androgen is a main driver for the sexual dimorphic response to aldosterone and high salt induced aortic aneurysms in mice. To explore the mechanism, aortas were isolated from three groups of mice as described below for transcriptomic profiling.
