Imaging and histological characterization of AVs from non-diabetic and diabetic AS patients according to sex. Illustrative computed tomograms showing severe calcification of the aortic valve in the four groups of AS patients (A). Representative microphotographs of AVs from AS patients with Movat pentachrome staining (upper row), alizarin red staining (middle row) and α-SMA immunostaining (lower row) (B). mRNA levels of α-SMA in AVs of AS patients according only to the presence of diabetes (C) or to the presence of diabetes and sex (D). N = 155 AVs. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001
