Effect of chemerin on atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE−/− mice. a Oil red O staining of the aorta. b Aortic root sections in different ApoE−/− mouse groups after HE staining. c The ratio of the plaque area to the cross-section of the vessel lumen area (Control group, n = 6; Chemerin group, n = 8; Inhibitor group, n = 8). The results are presented as the mean ± SD. d The ratio of the lipid area to the plaque cross-sectional area (Control group, n = 6; Chemerin group, n = 8; Inhibitor group, n = 8). The results are presented as the mean ± SD. e Aortic root sections from different ApoE−/− mouse groups after Movat staining. f The ratio of foam cell to plaque areas (Control group, n = 6; Chemerin group, n = 8; Inhibitor group, n = 8). The results are presented as the mean ± SD. g The ratio of the proteoglycan area to the plaque area (Control group, n = 6; Chemerin group, n = 8; Inhibitor group, n = 8). a: VS. the chemerin group, P < 0.05. The results are presented as the mean ± SD. h The ratio of the collagen area to the plaque area. The results are presented as the mean ± SD
