Figure 3 Changes in vessel wall dimensions. Line graphs display the vessel wall area (A), lumen area (B), and maximal vessel wall thickness (C) after the induction period (atherosclerois [AT] baseline) and at the end of the six-month treatment period (end of follow-up). Data are displayed as the mean value ± SEM. *p < 0.01 versus baseline. Bar graphs display the percent changes in vessel wall area (D) and maximal vessel wall thickness (E) by comparing the values at the end of treatment with the randomization (AT baseline). p < 0.05 versus high-cholesterol (HC) diet group. #p < 0.05 versus normal chow (ND) diet group.
