Aortic and lesion dimensional characteristics of Ldlr-1KO mice fed atherogenic diet (AD) and Ldlr-2KO and -3KO mice as determined by microCT and en face.

aAortas scanned from aortic valve to illiac bifurcation.bAortas scanned from aortic valve to 1 cm down descending aorta.cAorta with aneurysm.dOnly data from Ldlr-2KO and -3KO were analysed using a T-Test, as they were generated similarly (1 cm of descending aorta).eData from all three strains (Ldlr-1KO-AD, -2KO and -3KO) were analyzed using ANOVA, as these readouts of plaque were standardized to aorta dimension.* P** Pvs. Ldlr-2KO aortas using a T-Test.∧∧∧Pvs. Ldlr-1KO AD aortas,&Pvs. Ldlr-2KO aortas using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test.
