Five animals of each group were analyzed, and the reported values correspond to the mean values. The experiment was repeated 2 times with similar results. +/+ and −/− indicate normal littermate controls and β-adducin mutant animals, respectively. Young and Old indicate 2- to 4-month-old and 8- to 9-month-old animals, respectively.
