In experiments, male mice with immobilised hindlimbs developed more calcium build-up and larger aneurysms after 42 days than mice with induced aneurysms alone.In experiments, male mice with immobilised hindlimbs developed more calcium build-up and larger aneurysms after 42 days than mice with induced aneurysms alone.
