Figure 4From: AAV2/8-hSMAD3 gene delivery attenuates aortic atherogenesis, enhances Th2 response without fibrosis, in LDLR-KO mice on high cholesterol diet Visual inspection of representative aortas. Aortas from the indicated animals were buffered formalin fixed, cleaned and photographed. Note that the AAV/Neo-treated HCD aorta displays much higher amounts of lipid accumulation (white areas) than the AAV/hSMAD3-treated-HCD animals.Back to article page
