Postnatal losartan treatment of lung disease in Fbn1C1039G/+ mice. Histologic analysis of lung in wild-type mice (A) shows normal airspace caliber. Fbn1C1039G/+ mice treated with placebo (B) show diffuse distal airspace widening (example delineated with arrows). Distal airspace caliber is reduced in Fbn1C1039G/+ mice treated with losartan (C). Scale bars, 500 μm. (D) Average mean linear intercept, a marker of airspace caliber, is greater for placebo-treated Fbn1C1039G/+ mice than for untreated wild-type and losartan-treated Fbn1C1039G/+ mice. *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001.
