Figure 1.

Hematoxylin and eosin–stained cross sections taken from rabbit abdominal aorta or rat iliofemoral artery after balloon injury at 28 days’ follow-up (×400). Moderately large areas of foam cell–filled, fatty plaque were seen in saline-treated rabbit aorta specimens (a), whereas less fatty areas of intimal hyperplasia with predominant smooth muscle cell invasion and proliferation were seen in the rat iliofemoral arterial specimens (b). M-T7 at 1.7 pg/g produced a marked reduction in plaque area in both the rabbit (c) and the rat models (d).
