Insulin Resistance Promotes Early Atherosclerosis via Increased Proinflammatory Proteins and Oxidative Stress in Fructose-Fed ApoE-KO Mice

Figure 3

Immunofluorescence detection of VCAM-1 expression (green) in aorta and mesenteric arteries of ApoE KO mice fed control diet or fructose-rich diet (HF). Quantification of the fluorescent signal was performed by ImageJ software. Results are expressed as means ± S.E.M *𝑃<0.05; **𝑃<0.01 versus control diet.
