Time-Dependent Alterations in Rat Macrovessels with Type 1 Diabetes
Figure 7
Lipid droplets in aorta. (a) Arrows indicate lipid droplets in a diabetic aortic sample. (b) The number of lipid droplets within the aortic SMC increased in the 150 day diabetic and control animals (). The lipid incidence tended to increase with age in the control rats, becoming significant at 150 days (). ( = 47–56 measurements/group from 50 day rats, = 14–24 measurements/group from 100 day rats, and = 21–24 measurements/group from 150 day rats).
