From: Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor expression in advanced atherosclerotic plaques
Expression of FSHR1 in other cells associated with carotid atherosclerotic plaques. While FSHR1 was detectable in arterial endothelium covering the atherosclerotic plaques (Panel A), endothelia lining the blood microvessels (Panels C, D), M1-macrophages (Panel A, inset 1), foam cells (Panel A, inset 2), and in giant multinucleated macrophages (Panels D, E) no staining for FSHR1 was visible in M2-macrophages expressing CD163 (Panel B, inset 3, red color) and lymphocytes (Panel C). BV blood vessels, asterisks giant multinucleated macrophages. Scale bar in all panels represents: 50 µm).
