Oil Red O Stained Aorta Images from Atherosclerosis Mouse Study

61.1 MB of raw images showing Oil Red O and H&E staining of aorta bulk, aortic root, and liver from a study on atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice. The dataset was created by He-Ping Liu and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It supports research into the effects of a polyphenol extract from the herb Syzygium brachythyrsum on suppressing lipid plaques.

Use Cases

• Training computer vision models to segment and quantify lipid plaques based on Oil Red O staining patterns.
• Analyzing the correlation between staining intensity and treatment dosage in the described mouse model.
• Validating histological findings from the associated study on the ROS/Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 61.1 MB, indicating a specific collection of images.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.
• Images are directly tied to a described in vivo study with a 12-week high-fat diet model.

Limitations

• Row count and exact number of images are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; image metadata and organization must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
