From: Cardiac and vascular changes in elderly atherosclerotic mice: the influence of gender
Morphological analysis of aortas in both genders of normocholesterolemic C57 and hypercholesterolemic ApoE KO mice. (A) typical micrographs showing the severity of calcium deposition (Von Kossa staining; magnification: 250×) and en face images of (B) lipid deposition (Oil-Red-O staining) and (C) vascular senescence (X-gal, pH 6.0), in ApoE KO mice mainly in the male but not in either male or female C57 mice.
