Effect of lacidipine at 0 (control), 3 and 10 mg/kg on atherosclerotic lesions measured in the aortic root of apo E-deficient mice after 8-week treatment. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of the lesion area (×10³µm²) measured in 17 cross-sections through the aortic root of each mouse, over a distance of 240 µm n = 20 in each group; **P < 0.01, in lacidipine-treated animals compared with the controls.
