Fig 1 Treatment of wild-type mice with solubilized tobacco smoke results in elastin breaks in the aorta without a cellular infiltrate. These are representative images of (A) abdominal aorta of mice treated with phosphate-buffed saline, (B and C) abdominal aorta of mice treated with solubilized smoke solution via a subcutaneous osmotic pump, and (D) abdominal aorta of mice treated with solubilized smoke solution via a peritoneal osmotic pump. The arrows indicate areas of elastin breaks. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2017 65, 197S-198SDOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2017.03.374) Copyright © 2017 Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Treatment of hyperlipidemic mice with solubilized tobacco smoke results in plaque formation. These are representative images of (A) abdominal aorta of hyperlipidemic mice treated with phosphate-buffed saline, (B) thoracic aorta, or (C) abdominal aorta of hyperlipidemic mice treated with solubilized smoke solution via a subcutaneous osmotic pump, and (D) abdominal aorta of hyperlipidemic mice treated with solubilized smoke solution via a peritoneal osmotic pump.
