Effects of Huang-Lian-Jie-Du decoction (HLJDD) on plaques stability of carotid lesion in ApoE−/− mice with atherosclerosis (AS). (A) Representative MASSON, immunohistochemical staining of α-SMA and MOMA-2 in carotid arteries sections are shown. Magnification, ×200; scale bar=200μm. (B) The positive radio of collagen content in carotid sections by masson trichrome staining. Values are expressed as the mean±SD. (C) The average optical density of α-SMA in carotid sections was semi quantitatively analyzed by Image Pro Plus 6.0 software. Values are expressed as the mean±SD. (D) The average optical density (OD) of MOMA-2 in carotid sections was semi quantitatively analyzed by Image Pro Plus 6.0 software. Values are expressed as the mean±SD (n=5; #p<0.05 and ##p<0.01 vs. the control group; *p<0.05 and **p<0.01 vs. the model group; one-way ANOVA).
