Representative aorta from each diet group, white areas denote atherosclerotic lesion (A), aortic cholesterol content in whole aortas (B), and Mϕ immunostaining by an antibody to mouse Mϕ surface marker in the cross-sections of aortic arches (C) in LDLr-/- mice. Magnified (200×) images of aortic arch cross-sections. The intensity of the brown color corresponds to the presence levels of Mϕ. n =11 in HSF R=4:1 group, n=10 in other groups. Values are mean ± SD of untransformed data. Prior to statistical analysis, the following transformation was made, aortic FC (Log). An analysis of variance (PROC GLM) followed by Tukey's post hoc test was performed to compare group means. Bars without a common superscript differ, P<0.05.
