	SMC YFP+/+ Col15a1wt/wt, Apoe−/−	SMC YFP+/+ Col15a1Δ/Δ, Apoe−/−	P
Cholesterol, mg/dl	1,147 ± 79.49	973.6 ± 74.93	0.12†
Triglycerides, mg/dl	152.9 ± 12.40	148.6 ± 15.83	0.34*
Body weight, g	35.77 ± 0.86	34.04 ± 1.20	0.11*

Values are means ± SE; n = 20 mice/group. SMC, smooth muscle cell; YFP, yellow fluorescent protein; Apoe, apolipoprotein E.

^*P value was determined by a Mann-Whitney U-test;

^†P value was determined by an unpaired two-tailed t-test.
