Fig. 5From: MicroRNA-217 attenuates intima–media complex thickness of ascending aorta measured by ultrasound bio-microscopy and inhibits inflammation and lipid metabolism in atherosclerotic models of ApoE−/− micemiR-217 mimic reduced the levels of lipid metabolism-related genes, including LDL-R (a), SR-A (b), SR-B1 (c), CD36 (d), ABCA1 (e) and ABCG1 (f), in atherosclerotic models of ApoE−/− mice. qRT-PCR was used to test lipid metabolism-related genes in the aorta.
