EXPERIMENTAL THROMBO-ATHEROSCLEROSIS*

An Experimental Model for Studying Atherosclerosis

The aim of the present study was to clarify if old N-MRI rat, a strain which is easily available in Iran and cheap to maintain, is a suitable alternative to those previously reported. In this model, we compared three quantifiable parameters between old and young rats: biochemically, involving measurement of differences in the lipid profile. Histologically, the differences of the thickness of th...

Experimental Atherosclerosis

June of 1964, a conference held at the University of Chicago explored the extent of such use of stable and radioactive isotopes in pharmacology. This volume presents the papers of the symposium, edited by Roth. The format includes: preface (Roth), contents, introduction (by E. M. K. Geiling), 36 chapters, and an index. The chapters are grouped into seven parts, or sections (isotopic labeling of...

Experimental atherosclerosis in rabbits.

Many researches have been conducted in experimental models in order to study the development of atherosclerosis from hyperlipidemia-inducing diets. Since rabbits are very sensitive to cholesterol-rich diets and accumulate large amounts of cholesterol in their plasma, their use as experimental models to evaluate the development of atherosclerosis is highly relevant and brings information on fact...
