Vascular remodeling in aortas from GK rats in advanced T2DM. a Representative photomicrographs of the aortic cross-sections from the control and GK groups stained with H&E. Scale bar: 500 μm. b Wall thickness (Wm) (μm), c Cross-Sectional Area (CSA) (mm2), d Lumen diameter (μm), and e Wall-to-lumen (Wm/L) ratio were obtained using Image J analysis software. *p < 0.05 vs. control, n = 6–10 per group. Values are means ± SEM
