ApoE-/- Fbn1C1041G/+
The Fbn1C1041G/+ mouse model crossbred with ApoE-/- mice and fed a high-fat diet, develops human-like advanced atherosclerotic unstable plaques, with plaque rupture, neovascularization, myocardial infarction.

Fbn1C1041G/+
The Fbn1C1041G/+ mouse model, which mimics Marfan syndrome, when crossbred with LDL receptor-deficient (LDLR-/-) or apoE-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice and fed a high-fat diet, develops human-like advanced atherosclerotic unstable plaques, characterized by exacerbated atherosclerosis, with larger... more
