a Oil red O staining of the left carotid artery (LCA) and right carotid artery (RCA) 10 days after partial ligation surgery (1 mm from the ligation site, scale bar = 200 μm). b Quantification of plaque sizes using ImageJ (N = 5, mean ± SEM, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). c Immunofluorescence for SMA (red) and Flk-1 (green). The color-merged images are shown in the right panels. Scale bar = 50 μm
