Table 2 In control group animals, frequency of plaques, ulceration and thrombosis were negligible (shown as none) while atherosclerosis group animals showed different mean values for plaque frequency, ulceration and thrombosis in rabbits (n = 9). Frequency of plaques, ulceration and thrombosis are shown in atherosclerosis group of rabbits (n = 9).
Plaque Atheroma Index | Control Group | Atherosclerosis Group |
|---|---|---|
Aortic plaque frequency | none | 51.3 |
Coronary plaque frequency | none | 26.8 |
Aortic plaque ulceration | none | 18.2 |
Coronary plaque ulceration | none | 16.6 |
Aortic plaque thrombosis | none | 12.6 |
Coronary plaque thrombosis | none | 14.5 |
Aortic plaque cracks/fissures | none | 17.2 |
Coronary plaque cracks/ fissures | none | 1.64 |
