Fig. 2From: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibition with linagliptin prevents western diet-induced vascular abnormalities in female miceLGT prevents development of in vivo aortic stiffening, as well as endothelial stiffening in ex vivo aortic explants. a Pulse wave velocity (PWV) measured after 4 months on experimental diets. b Force measurements were acquired by interaction between a cantilever tip and the EC surface of aortic explants from mice after 4 months on WD. Values are mean ± SE. CDC control diet control, CDL control diet linagliptin, WDC western diet control and WDL western diet linagliptin. Post-hoc comparisons within a time point; *p < 0.05 CDC vs WDC; †p < 0.05 WDC vs WDLBack to article page
