The extent of aortic root atherosclerosis is independently associated with both high levels of VLDL cholesterol and low levels of HDL cholesterol in the circulation. This chart is based on the entire data set (n = 321 mice) with each individual bar representing approximately 20 mice. Progressive quartiles for VLDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol are based on increasing levels of cholesterol for each lipid variable.
