Histologic features of atherosclerosis promote research on reverse cholesterol transport and inflammation. In humans, advanced lesions in coronary (A) and femoral (B) arteries (Trichrome staining) depict structural disorganization and accretion of cholesterol crystals. These arteries are also replete of immune cells, especially macrophages (C,D) as shown by immunochemical staining of CD68 cells. Haematoxylin and eosin staining of Aorta (E) and Femoral (F) arteries from Apo E-deficient mice advanced lesions mostly depict proliferative lesions with compromised blood flow hampering comparisons with humans. Magnifications are 2× (A,C,D), 20× (B) and 40× (E,F).
