On the cover: Smooth muscle cell (SMC) and macrophage plaque content. Compared to sedentary sham (left), advanced staging and signs of plaque vulnerability are visible in sedentary hypersensitive 2K1C mice (middle). After 5 weeks of swimming, plaques show a more stable phenotype similar to that found in sedentary normotensive mice (right). (See page 785.)
