In vivo foam cell analysis.

<p><b>A</b>) Peritoneal macrophage total cholesterol mass normalized to cell count from hyperlipidemic 11βHSD1^+/+/apoE^−/− (n = 13) and 11βHSD1^−/−/apoE^−/− (n = 16) mixed-sex mice. <b>B</b>) Peritoneal macrophages (MΦ) harvested by lavage from 11βHSD1^+/+/apoE^−/− (left upper and lower images) and 11βHSD1^−/−/apoE^−/− (right upper and lower images) mice stained with oil red O and hematoxylin. Magnification of top images 40X and lower images 100X. Data are pooled from two independently run studies. Significance vs. control: *p≤0.05.
