From: Adipocyte in vascular wall can induce the rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm
The effects of triolein administration on AAA rupture and aortic diameter.
(a) The effect of triolein administration on AAA rupture ratio. Data are presented as number of rats. #P value of Fisher’s exact test. (b) Representative images of the abdominal aorta from a normal rat and from rats in the triolein-administered group. The ruptured AAA is shown after washing away blood. (c) Quantitative analysis of aortic diameter. (d) Dilation ratio of the non-ruptured and ruptured groups. Data are the mean ± s.e.m. Non-ruptured (n = 13), ruptured (n = 11). *P < 0.01 versus non-ruptured group.
