Upper panel: Volume rendered micro-CT images of coronary arteries and their vasa vasorum. Coronaries from hypercholesterolemic (HC) animals exhibit significant vasa vasorum neovascularization in comparison to coronaries from normal (N) and Thalidomide treated animals (HC+Th and N+Th). The lower panel shows a bar graph of the histologically quantified intima-media thickening in all four groups. Chronic administration of Thalidomide prevented intima-media thickening in the hypercholesterolemic animals.
