Expression of CCN3 in atherosclerosis.

<p>The mRNA level (A) and protein level (B) of CCN3 in the left common carotid artery of mice were evaluated by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. 1 represents control mice (wild-type C57BL; 6 mice); 2 represents 25-week-old ApoE^−/− mice fed a high-fat diet. GAPDH was used as a control. *p<0.05, <i>N</i> = 30 per group.
