Figure 5

Elevated levels of ADAMTS4 in plaques and plasma of ApoE−/− mice as atherosclerosis progresses.

(a) ADAMTS4 expression in the plaques of 12 and 18 weeks old ApoE−/− mice. (b) Quantification of the ADAMTS4 positive stained area expressed as percentage of total lesion area (n = 5 mice, with 5 sections from each brachiocephalic artery). (c) Plasma ADAMTS4 level in ApoE-null mice (n = 8). Values shown are mean ± SEM.
