Figure 2

Ultrastructural analysis. Panels (a) and (b) correspond to animals of control group, while panels (b), (c), (d), and (e) show the effects of Lipofundin administration on atherosclerotic lesion formation. EC: endothelial cells, EL: extracellular lipids, VSMC: vascular smooth muscle cells, N: nucleus, FC: foam cells, LV: lipid vacuolization, CF: collagen fibers, M: myofibroblasts. Scale bar 1 μm (a, b, c, d), 500 nm (e, f).
