In control group animals plaque morphology indices were negligible (shown as none) while atherosclerosis group animals showed different mean ± s.d. values for extent of atherosclerosis in rabbits (n = 9). Extent of atherosclerosis is shown as aortic sudanophilia score, aortic and coronary artery atherosclerosis scores (% scores) and plaque heights(in μm). |
