Atherosclerotic lesion size. Extent of atherosclerotic lesions was measured in the aortic sinus (representative images shown) and the ascending aorta. Mice were treated with ramipril (R), or telmisartan (T) or in combination (T/R) for 8 weeks. Data shown are means ± SEM from five animals per group. **P < 0.001, different from values for ApoE^−/− mice. ApoE^−/−, apolipoprotein-E-deficient; WT, wild-type.
