Fig. 1 Photomicrograph showing two aortic lesions in aortic root near cusps in female LPA-YAC/hAPOB transgenic mouse fed on the HC diet for 7 weeks. Figure shows a section with two separate plaques of fatty streak type (original magnification 100×). These plaques are presented with original magnification 400× in cuts (A) and (B). In cut (A) a lesion with accumulation of extracellular lipids and a single foam cell (arrow) on the endothelial surface is seen. In cut (B) a aortic lesion with calcification (arrows) is seen.
