Oil Red O Staining Images of Aortic Root from Atherosclerosis Mouse Study

Raw images of Oil Red O staining of aortic root from a study investigating the anti-atherosclerotic effects of a polyphenol extract. The dataset, 20.4 MB in size, was authored by He-Ping Liu and last updated on 2026-05-05. It is associated with research using a high-fat diet-induced ApoE-/- mouse model over 12 weeks.

Use Cases

• Analyze lipid plaque morphology in aortic roots based on the described Oil Red O staining.
• Train image segmentation models to quantify atherosclerotic lesions based on the histology images.
• Correlate visual plaque data with biochemical markers like serum lipid profiles and inflammatory cytokines mentioned in the study.
• Study the effects of herbal polyphenol extracts on atherosclerosis progression in a mouse model.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 20.4 MB, indicating a specific, focused collection.
• Images are associated with a controlled in vivo study using ApoE-/- mice on a high-fat diet for 12 weeks.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

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