Hyperlipemia induces Id3 expression in the vessel wall. After 20 weeks of high-fat feeding, vessels were harvested and equal amounts of protein were analyzed for Id3. A representative Western blot is shown (a). Quantitative densitometry is shown from 4 animals from each group (b). Results are normalized to quantitative densitometry of the tubulin blot for each sample. Normolipemic animals had serum cholesterol levels of 65–105 mg/dl. Hyper-lipemic animals had cholesterol levels of 287–450 mg/dl. Hyperlipemic aortas demonstrated significantly more Id3 relative to normolipemic aortas (* p < 0.001).
