Raw Images of FIG6B and 6D: Atherosclerosis in Mouse Aorta and Liver

A study from Yunnan province, China, investigates the anti-atherosclerotic effects of a polyphenol extract from the herb Syzygium brachythyrsum. The dataset contains raw images of Oil Red O and H&E stained aorta and liver tissue from ApoE-/- mice fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. He-Ping Liu uploaded the 35.1 MB ZIP file to figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, with a last update timestamp of 2026-05-05.

Use Cases

• Analyze lipid plaque morphology in aortic tissue based on Oil Red O staining images mentioned in the description
• Assess hepatic lipid accumulation and tissue structure based on H&E staining images mentioned in the description
• Train or validate image segmentation models for identifying atherosclerotic lesions in mouse models
• Correlate histological findings with biochemical data on oxidative stress and inflammation pathways described in the study

Strengths

• Images are associated with a controlled in vivo study using ApoE-/- mice on a high-fat diet for 12 weeks.
• Dataset is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and modification.
• File size is 35.1 MB, indicating a focused collection of specific raw images.

Limitations

• Row count and exact number of images are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are absent; image semantics and organization must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited to the research context; specific image acquisition parameters are not detailed.
