Quantification of atherosclerosis in mice fed a chow 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 (n = 18 for both groups). (C) H&E and Oil-Red-O staining of aortic sinus cryosections (bar = 500 µm). (D) The ratio of total atherosclerotic lesion area to aorta lumen area indicating mean size of atherosclerotic plaque. Data are mean ± SD. *P< 0.01 compared with the lenti-null group (n = 25 for both groups).
