Percent arteriolar and venular amyloid load with disease progression. Percent vascular amyloid coverage was determined by quantifying area of ThioS over area of lectin-labelled vessels. Arteriolar (a; p = 0.0001) and venular amyloid (b; p = 0.004) increases significantly with disease progression. The majority of amyloid increased between 7 and 10 months of age for both arteriolar (p = 0.02) and venular amyloid (p = 0.05). Using two-tailed t-tests statistical approach, the scatter plot comparing percent amyloid load between arterioles and venules (c) demonstrates significant arteriolar amyloid relative to venular amyloid within each individual rat: 7 (p = 0.006), 10 (p = 0.021), 13 (p = 0.0008), and 16 months of age (p = 0.019). Alpha = 0.05. Graphs are labelled as the mean of five replicates ± sem. (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, ****p < 0.0001).
