Figure 3. Effects of MMI and LCA on plaque composition in the unstable carotid artery plaque models.

Figure 3

Carotid artery plaques in mice from the 2-week group (n=6), water-2-week group (n=10), MMI-2-week group (n=10), LCA-2-week group (n=10), water-5-week group (n=10), MMI-5-week group (n=10) and LCA-5-week group (n=10) were collected to the following assessments. (A) Sirius red staining, Masson trichrome staining and immunohistochemical staining of CD68 were used to assess plaque composition of the right common carotid artery in the unstable carotid artery plaque models (The lumen of the vessel has been indicated as “L”, and the vessel wall has been marked as “W”). (B) Bar graph of the Sirius red staining. (C) Bar graph of the CD68 staining (*P<0.05, compared with the water-2-week group; #P<0.05, compared with water-5-week group).
