Figure 3 Carotid artery (CA) diameter response to intra-arterial infusion of acetylcholine, at baseline and during hypertriglyceridemia (A) and after CA balloon injury (B). Carotid response went from vasodilation at baseline to vasoconstriction after intralipid infusion and also after balloon injury, confirming the presence of endothelial dysfunction in both conditions.
