Effects of QMY on plaque formation and intima thickness in aorta of ASO rabbits. (A) Results of the Sudan III staining (magnification, ×100). (B) Results of the H&E staining (magnification, ×100). (C) Statistical results of the intima thickness and plaque area in aorta, data are represented as mean ± SD (n = 8), **p < 0.01 vs. vehicle. Simvastatin (1.53 mg/kg/day) was used as positive drug. Low, Middle and High doses of QMY were 300, 600, and 1200 mg/kg, and the simvastatin (1.53 mg/kg) was used as the positive drug. The yellow arrow shows the intima.
