Comparable atherosclerotic plaque areas in the aortas of <i>WT→ Ldlr</i>^{<i>–/–</i>}and <i>Dgat1</i>^{<i>–/–</i>}<i>→ Ldlr</i>^{<i>–/–</i>}mice.

<p>(A) Aortae stained <i>en face</i> with ORO after 13 and 19 weeks of WTD feeding. (B) Quantification of plaque size in the thoracic aortae and (C) aortic arches of <i>WT→ Ldlr</i>^{<i>–/–</i>}(black squares) and <i>Dgat1</i>^{<i>–/–</i>}<i>→ Ldlr</i>^{<i>–/–</i>}(white circles) mice fed a WTD as in A (n = 9 females, ♀, and 10–11 males, ♂). Horizontal lines represent mean values through data groupings.
