HFD-induced tissue deposition of lipid was inhibited by dietary linseed oil. Mice were fed with either control diet with soybean oil, HFD with soybean oil or HFD with linseed oil for 10 months, and histological sections of aortic valve were examined by staining with oil red O solution. Upper row shows pictures with low magnification. Lower tier shows pictures with high magnification of indicated square areas. Data are representative of 2 independent experiments (n = 5/group/experiment). Scale bars 100 μm.
