TEM from apoE^−/− animals supplemented with the different treatments. AE-MV15 ((a) ×2,500 and (b) ×10,000) and AE-LUT ((e) ×5,250 and (f) ×7,725) animals showed less confluent and more diffuse BLamD and less lucent areas in BM, whereas those alterations were almost absent in AE-MV50 mice ((c) ×5,250 and (d) ×7,725).
