Abdominal aortic and coronary atherosclerosis in a 26-week-old <i>LDLR−/−</i> pig fed a standard diet.

<p>Measurements of percent surface area with raised lesion in the abdominal aorta were taken from en face photographs of the abdominal aorta and confirmed by Sudan IV staining (A). Aortic sections (rectangle) were stained with VVG and H&E (B,C), higher magnifications of atherosclerotic lesion (squares) are seen in D and E. A representative section (with corresponding higher magnification) from the circumflex artery showing atherosclerotic plaque that appears to have foam cells. (F,G–H&E H,I – VVG).
