Extended Data Fig. 3: Analysis of genes associated with cardiac contractility, stress and fibrosis in the hearts of male and female control and ERαHKO mice (>12 months).

a, Gene expression of SERCA2a, αMHC, and βMHC relative to Hprt1 by qPCR in male control (FC) and knockout (KO) hearts. Lines show mean±SEM. FC n=4, KO n=7. Gene expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP, Npaa), B-Type natriuretic peptide (BNP, Nppb), Collagen 1 and 3 relative to Hprt1 in b, Male and c, Female FC and KO hearts. Lines show mean±SEM. Male FC n=4, Male KO n=7, Female FC n=8, Female KO n=7; n represent data from independent animals. For all panels, two-sided, unpaired t-test; no significant differences between groups.
