Experimental Design and AAA Formation Study Protocol. LDLr-deficient mice were reconstituted with bone marrow-derived cells from either NOR1+/+ or NOR1−/− mice. Four weeks after engraftment, a diet enriched in saturated fat was fed to transplanted mice beginning one week prior to the start of angiotensin II infusion. The body weight was measured every week; AAA formation was evaluated by ultrasound before and after angiotensin II infusion; blood pressures were measured on three consecutive days before the termination of angiotensin II infusion using a non-invasive blood pressure system
