Abstract
A new method for staining lipid in paraffin sections was applied to a selection of 89 subjects aged 31–92 years. From place to place within each specimen of coronary artery, extracellular lipid strongly tended to select intimal microregions with low SMC densities. Direct visualization of lipid by this new method therefore confirms a key feature of the sequestration hypothesis.
