Quantification of atherosclerosis in mice fed a high-fat diet. (A) En face analysis of aortas. Atherosclerotic lesions were identified by Oil-Red-O staining. (B) Total atherosclerotic lesion area indicating level of atherogenesis. (C) Oil-Red-O staining of aortic sinus cryosections (bar = 500 µm). (D) Ratio of total atherosclerotic lesion area to aorta lumen area indicating mean size of atherosclerotic plaque. Data are mean ± SD. *P > 0.05 compared with lenti-null group (n = 10 for both groups).
