Effect of HVC1 on plaque formation in LDLR−/− mice fed a HCD. (a) Representative images of the aortic root and (b) quantitative analysis of Oil red O positive area. Oil red O staining was performed to show lipid in aortic root (black arrows, original magnification × 100). The fold change of Oil red O positive area was quantified using Adobe Photoshop 9.0. ND: Normal diet group; HCD: High-cholesterol diet group; Sim: Simvastatin (10 mg/kg) treated with HCD group; HVC1: HVC1 treated with HCD group. The values represent mean ± S.D. (significant as compared to HCD, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, significant as compared to ND, # p < 0.05)
