The sections of rat carotid arteries were prepared on day 15 after balloon injury. (A) H & E staining and Masson-Goldner trichrome staining (below). The scale bar indicates 200 µm (upper) or 50 µm (below). (B) I/M thickness ratio analysis. **P<0.01 compared with the sham group, # P<0.05 compared with injured group (n = 6). (C) Doppler ultrasound examination. (D) Immunohistochemistry analysis. The scale bar indicates 50 µm. Non-immune IgG was used as a negative control. (E) A model for the regulation of VSMC proliferation and migration by LiCl through PGC-1α.
