From: Red blood cell distribution width is associated with increased interactions of blood cells with vascular wall

Figure 5

Increase in variation of red blood cells correlates with increased size of vascular lesion in mouse model of atherosclerosis. The mean (± SEM) lesion areas per each genotype. Post hoc comparisons between transgenic genotypes and control C57BL6/J mice in each time point are indicated by * (A). Regression analysis shows the correlation of lesion area in whole aorta versus %RDW (B) and RDWfl (C) parameters. Each dot represents one mouse. Legend: wt: filled triangle; ApoE+/−/Hbb+/−: open circle. Graphs were created in Statistica 10 (StatSoft, Tulsa, OK, USA).
