Effects of Antisense Oligonucleotides against C-Reactive Protein on the Development of Atherosclerosis in WHHL Rabbits
Increased plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are closely associated with cardiovascular diseases, but whether CRP is directly involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is still under debate. Many controversial and contradictory results using transgenic mice and rabbits have been published but it is also unclear whether CRP lowering can be used for the treatment of atherosclerosis. ...
متن کاملImpaired baroreflex control of arterial pressure in WHHL rabbits.
The present study was designed to investigate baroreflex control capacity of arterial pressure (AP) in the conscious Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbit. The control capacity of the baroreflex system was assessed with overall open-loop gain (G). Seven WHHL and 14 normal Japanese white rabbits were chronically implanted two catheters in the aortic arch through the left subclavian and...
متن کاملEnhanced atherosclerosis in Lp(a) WHHL transgenic rabbits.
High lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels form a major risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. The risk of elevated Lp(a) concentrations is significantly increased in patients who also have high levels of LDL cholesterol. Although the relation between Lp(a) and atherosclerosis has been reported in numerous studies, little is known about whether Lp(a) would exacerbate the complicated lesion...
متن کاملBisphenol A Exposure Enhances Atherosclerosis in WHHL Rabbits
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental endocrine disrupter. Excess exposure to BPA may increase susceptibility to many metabolic disorders, but it is unclear whether BPA exposure has any adverse effects on the development of atherosclerosis. To determine whether there are such effects, we investigated the response of Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits to 400-µg/kg BPA per day, admi...
متن کاملHypervitaminosis D3 in broiler chicks: histopathological, immunomodulatory and immunohistochemical approach
The present study was undertaken to investigate the toxic effects of higher doses (1,00,000 IU i.e. 2.5 mg/kg body weight (BW)) of vitamin D3, concomitantly with bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides: LPS) to study the immunomodulatory potential of vitamin D3 in IBL-80 broiler chicks. The chicks were divided into four groups [group I (NSS), group II (LPS), group III (Vit. D3 + NSS), and gro...
