CD36 and atherosclerosis: There were no differences in lesion area between male WD fed Ldlr° and Cd36°/Ldlr° mice (Fig 2A, 7.97% ± 1.06 vs 7.63% ± 1.3), or female WD fed Ldlr° and Cd36°/Ldlr° mice (Fig 2B, 5.6% ± 0.8 vs 6.72% ± 1.37) which confirms our previous study showing that atherosclerosis in this model is CD36/SR-B2 independent [33].
