Figure 7

Glucosamine reduces atherosclerotic lesion of aortic root in apoE null mice. apoE null mice were treated with glucosamine intraperitoneally at 5 mg/kg for 2 months from 4 weeks to 12 weeks of age. At the end of the study, mice were euthanized. Aortic roots were collected and snap frozen in OCT for lesion evaluation by Oil-Red-O staining.
