Gastrodin alleviates atherosclerosis in HFD fed Ldlr^−/− mice. A and B Representative en face images of Oil red O-stained aorta and quantification of lesion area. C and D Representative aortic root sections stained with Oil red O and quantification of aortic lesion areas. E and F Representative F4/80 immunostaining and quantification of aortic sinus lessions. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 8, ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01 for HFD mice versus CD mice. ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01 for HFD mice versus HFD + Gastrodin mice
