Light micrographs of dorsal aorta of rats treated as follow: control (A), triton-treated rats (B1, B2), and triton + soybean oil-treated rats (C). Note: normal tunica intimal (I) with a single irregular layer of endothelial cells (black-arrows), tunica media (M) with elastic fibers and tunica adventitia (a) appear normal in control group. Loss of endothelial cells of tunica intimal (I), disorganized and vacuolation of tunica media (M), increased adventitial thickness (a), and decreased the lumen of the aorta (double headed arrows) in triton-treated rats (B1, B2) compared to normal layers of the dorsal aorta in the control group (A). Histological changes induced after triton treatments were markedly reduced in the combination group triton + soybean oil-treated rats (C). (H&E × 400)
