A diet enriched with tree nuts reduces severity of atherosclerosis but not abdominal aneurysm in angiotensin II-infused apolipoprotein E deficient mice

This experimental study suggests that a diet enriched with tree nuts does not reduce the severity of AAA, but does reduce the severity of atherosclerosis within the brachiocephalic artery. The study was not powered to identify a moderate effect of the diet on the primary outcome and therefore this cannot be excluded.
