Figure 4

MCA media thickness and lumen diameter as compared to the filtered air group after 6 week (A) or 12 week exposure (E). Quantitative analyses show media thickness (µm), lumen diameter (µm) and media-lumen ratio (%) (B–D) represents 6 week PM2.5 exposure and (F–H) represents 12 week PM2.5 exposure values). (n = 9 for each group). Values are represented as mean ± SE.*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 as compared to the FA group; ★p < 0.05, ★★p < 0.01 and ★★★p < 0.001 as compared to the normal chow diet group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 as compared to the high-cholesterol diet group.
