Analysis of atherosclerotic lesions area in en face aortas and aortic root cross sections. (A-B) Representative photomicrographs of lesions in en face aortas were determined by Oil Red O staining and quantified by a computer-assisted image analysis protocol, n=15. (C-D) Lesions in aortic root cross sections were determined by Oil Red O staining and quantified. Lesion areas were expressed as µm2, n = 15. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05, significantly different as indicated.
