Studies on the Prevention of Cholesterol Atherosclerosis in Rabbits

چکیده

1. Whole thyroid gland when administered simultaneously with cholesterol prevented the atheromatous changes produced by the latter in the aorta of rabbits in 17 of 19 animals. 2. In this series thyroxin was less effective, as atherosclerosis occurred in 8 of 11 rabbits. 3. Potassium iodide also exerted a strong protective action as aortic lesions were present in only 1 of a series of 12 rabbits fed cholesterol and potassium iodide concurrently. 4. The effectiveness of potassium iodide was not shared by potassium bromide or potassium chloride. 5. A relationship was noted between the level of the cholesterol in the blood and the development of atherosclerosis. In general, the aortic lesions accompanied a hypercholesterolemia.

Effect of aerobic moderate exercise intensity on plasma and aorta homocysteine and 15-F21-isoprostane concentrations in high cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerosis.

Few studies have investigated the effect of exercise on homocysteine and 15-F21-isoprostane in animal models. The present study was designed to examine the effect of long-term exercise and/ or high cholesterol diet on MDA, 15-F21-isoprostane and total homocysteine in the aorta and plasma of rabbits. Methods: 56 male rabbits were divided into four groups: normal diet (control), normal diet wi...

Gender Difference in Endothelial Permeability of Aorta in Rabbits Consuming Normal or High-Cholesterol Diets

The endothelial permeability of aorta (EPA) is influenced by atherosclerosis.  Whether the physiological difference in EPA is a sex-dependent phenomenon remains to be determined.  The objective of this study was to determine the EPA difference between male and female rabbits.  An experimental model was designed to obtain 4 groups of animals.  The ovariectomized rabbits were fed with normal (gro...
