Histological analysis of CAVD in apoE−/− mice. A) Examples of aortic valve leaflet H&E staining (left panel) and quantification of aortic valve leaflet thickness (right panel). L: leaflet, B: base. Scale bar: 100 um. *p<0.001, n=3 in each group. B) Examples (left panel) and quantification (right panel) of alizarin red staining of aortic valve calcification. Scale bar: 100 um. *p<0.01, **p<0.001, n=3 in each group. mo: months.
