Fig 6. Transient ligation results in atherosclerosis in ApoE deficient mice.

Effect of 1h transient carotid artery ligation on carotid arteries of ApoE deficient mice (fed a western diet), assessed after 28 days of reperfusion. Scale bar equals 200 μm. (A) vascular segment with laminar flow; (B) vascular segment including the area of bifurcation. Per vascular segment, the area below bifurcation (A) and the area of bifurcation (B), 3–4 H&E sections were analyzed as indicated by the horizontal grey lines in the schematic drawing. n = 8, statistical analysis was performed using a two tailed paired t-test.
