Fig. 1

FGF21 deletion accelerated and aggravated diabetes-induced aortic thickening. At indicated time points after diabetes onset, histological change of aorta was evaluated by H&E staining (a) and aorta thickness was measured using Image Pro Plus 6.0 software (b). Data are presented as means ± SD, n ≥ 5 for each group. * p < 0.05 vs WT Ctrl group; # p < 0.05 vs FGF21KO Ctrl group; & p < 0.05 vs WT DM group. Bar = 50 μm. Ctrl: control; DM: diabetes mellitus; WT: wild type; FGF21KO: FGF21 knockout; m: month(s)
