Figure 2.
Aerobic exercise training inhibited the neointimal formation in the balloon-injured common carotid arteries (CCA) of the balloon-induced rats with high-fat diets. Representation of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining in the injured CCA (A). Neointima of the cross-sectional area (μm2) was quantified by planimetry (B). SC (n = 7), sham Control; BIC (n = 8), balloon-injured control; BIE (n = 8), balloon-injured exercise. Data showed a mean ±S.E. * p < 0.05 vs. SC; # p < 0.05 vs. BIC. Microscope were used by 100X and Scale bars are 100 μm.
