Figure 1

Heterozygosity for Mclk1 does not prevent atherosclerosis in the LDLr-/- disease model. Atherosclerotic lesions that stain with the lipid-sensitive dye Oil Red O were quantified on the inner surface of the aorta in LDLr-/- mice at (A) 6 months of age, with three backcrosses into C57BL/6J and (B) 10 months of age with six backcrosses into C57BL/6J. F and M labels stand for females and males, respectively. The +/+ and +/- labels stand for the Mclk1+/+ and Mclk1+/- genotypes, respectively.
