Effects of rivaroxaban on atherosclerosis in the aortic root and on occluded coronary arteries in ICM model mice

Rivaroxaban alleviated atherosclerosis and occluded coronary arteries in ICM model mice.

(A) Representative images of oil red O staining of atherosclerotic plaques in aortic roots. Rivaroxaban treatment alleviated lipid deposition as compared with the non-treated group (n = 5–7; bar = 500 µm). (B) HE staining indicated that occluded coronary arteries were decreased by rivaroxaban treatment compared with the non-treated group (n = 11–14; bar = 50 µm). (C) The mRNA expression of proinflammatory genes revealed that rivaroxaban decreased the inflammatory molecules in the heart (n = 8–9). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.
