Fig. 8: AMPK-α1/α2 deletion in smooth muscles had little or no effect on systemic arterial blood pressures.

Dot plots show mean ± SEM for systolic, diastolic and mean systemic arterial blood pressures under resting conditions for AMPK-α1/α2 floxed (AMPK-α1/α2 FLX, black, n = 4 mice), AMPK-α1 knockout (AMPK-α1 KO, red, n = 4 mice), AMPK-α2 knockout (AMPK-α2 KO, blue, n = 4 mice) and AMPK-α1/α2 knockout (AMPK-α1/α2 KO, orange, n = 4 mice). Statistical significance was assessed by Kruskall Wallis’ test with Dunn’s correction for multiple comparisons.
