Fig 2. The effect of dietary SM on aortic lesion area in apoE-/- mice fed a normal chow diet with or without SM and antibiotic supplementation.

Fig 2

ApoE-/- mice were maintained for 19 weeks on normal chow (Panel A, N, n = 10), chow supplemented with SM (Panel B, NSM, n = 9), chow plus antibiotics (Panel C, NAb, n = 10) or chow with SM and antibiotics (Panel D, NAbSM, n = 12). Oil red O staining was quantified with ImageJ. Representative stained aortas are shown (Panes A-D). Each data point represents a single animal (Panel E). The mean ± SEM is shown. Significant differences between groups were determined by one-way ANOVA. *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
