From: Estrogenic vascular effects are diminished by chronological aging
Human uterine arterial function is impaired with increasing age. Maximal U4-induced contractions (A) and endothelial-dependent relaxations (B) were compared in 4 age groups (30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60-75 years of age). P < 0.05 from; 30-39 (Ψ), 40-49 (θ), 50-59 (†) (ordinary one-way ANOVA). Scatter plots show (C) the mean maximal U4-induced constriction and (D) endothelial-dependent relaxation of uterine arteries from each individual patient plotted against age. *P < 0.05 from zero slope (F test). The slope and, r2 values are presented in each XY scatter graph.
