B2 showed a trend in atherosclerotic lesion area reduction in both 4 mg/kg and T3–15 mg/kg treatment groups but did not reach statistical significance (mean±SEM: 525±3.6% vs. 69.2±14.0% p =1.0 and 43.6±12.0% vs. 69.2±14.0% p =1.15 respectively).
These consistent findings suggest that in early atherosclerosis, changes in MMP-9 following treatment with T3 may not be significant enough as they are not overly expressed following HCD.
