KGBE reduces atherosclerotic lesion formation in ApoE^−/− mice fed a HFD for 16 weeks. Mice were freely given NCD, HFD, and HFD supplemented with KGBE or KRGE for 16 weeks. (a) Pictures are representative en face images showing oil red O-stained plaque areas of aortas, and (b) relative plaque areas were quantified by computer-associated morphometry. Data shown are the mean ± S.D. (𝑛≥10). **𝑃<0.01 versus HFD. (c) Frozen sections of aortic sinus were stained with oil red O, and (d) plaque areas were quantified by computer-associated morphometry. Data shown are the mean ± S.D. (𝑛≥10). **𝑃<0.01 versus HFD.
