(A) The protocol of animal experiment. (B and C) At the end of experiment, carotid artery was subjected to perform morphological analysis by Oil Red staining in (B) and quantitative analysis of atherosclerotic plaque size in (C). (D and E) Histological analysis by HE staining in (D) and quantitative analysis of atherosclerotic plaque size in (E) were performed. a, Sham; b, Sham + XMJ-6.0; c, Atherosclerosis (AS); d, AS + XMJ-0.6; e, AS + XMJ-2.0; f, AS + XMJ-6.0; g, Lovastatin; h, ZBT. All data were expressed as mean ± SEM. 10–15 rats per group. *P < 0.05 VS Control, #P < 0.05 VS AS alone.
