Aortic atherosclerotic lesions quantification and plasma lipids in LDLR−/− mice exposed to BPA. (A) Area of aortic atherosclerotic lesions of the BPA-treated LDLR−/− mice was significantly higher as compared to those in the control group, in which only vehicle (water) was administered (p < 0.05). Representative images of aortas stained with Oil red O in females LDLR−/− mice are presented on top of Panel A. (B) Plasma triglycerides levels in BPA-treated mice were significantly higher compared to those in the control group for both genders (* p < 0.05). (C) In the BPA-treated mice group, HDL-cholesterol levels were significantly lower as compared to those in the control group for males and females (* p < 0.05). (D) Cholesterol levels were significantly increased in the BPA-treated female mice as compared to the control group; for males, an increase was registered but it was not statistically significant (* p > 0.05).
