Diabetogenic diet induces obesity and atherosclerosis in Ldlr^−/− mice. Ldlr^−/− mice were placed on either diabetogenic diet (DDC) or normal chow (NC) for 16 weeks: a mean body weight during dietary treatment (n = 12); b mean gonadal white adipose tissue (AT) weight after 16 weeks on dietary treatment (n = 12); c representative images of en-face Sudan IV stained aortae after 16 weeks of indicated treatments; d atherosclerotic lesion quantification after 16 weeks of dietary treatment (n = 3)
