Figure 5.
Plasma SAA concentration does not correlate with en face lesion area in apoE-/- mice fed a Western diet for 12 weeks. Plasma SAA concentrations were measured by ELISA and en face lesions expressed as a percentage of the total aortic intimal surface in male and female apoE-/- mice, n=19. There is no significant relationship between SAA and atherosclerosis (r=0.35, P=NS).
