چکیده

objective(s)cardiovascular disease causes a major clinical problem in patients with end stage renal disease. since metabolic acidosis is very common in patients with end stage renal disease, we aimed to investigate the effect of experimentally-induced metabolic acidosis on serum lipid profile and aortic fatty streak (fs) formation in normal and high-cholesterol fed rabbits.materials and methodstwenty-four male rabbits were divided into four groups (n=6 each): (1) normal diet (nd): (2) hypercholesterolemic diet (hcd) (1%): (3) nd plus acidemic diet: (4) hcd plus acidemic diet. metabolic acidosis was induced by adding 0.75% nh4cl in drinking water. after 4 weeks, blood samples were taken and thoracic aortae were dissected for histological examinations.resultsresults showed that in the animals who received nh4cl, metabolic acidosis was successfully induced. serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (ldl) concentrations in hcd groups were significantly higher than nd groups (p<0.05) and acidosis did not significantly change serum lipid levels neither in nd nor in hcd animals (p>0.05). histological examination of aortae showed higher mean average grades of pathological evaluation in hcd than nd groups (2.1±0.16 vs. 0±0; p<0.05). acidosis did not further increase fs formation in hcd groups (p >0.05).conclusionin this model of experimentally-induced metabolic acidosis, acidosis could not increase fs formation in hcd animals and it seems that it does not interfere in progression of atherosclerosis process.

Dehydroepiandrosterone feeding prevents aortic fatty streak formation and cholesterol accumulation in cholesterol-fed rabbit.

The concentration of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in human plasma is higher than any other steroid. Recent evidence has suggested an inverse relationship between plasma DHEA levels and the development of coronary atherosclerosis in humans. We used the cholesterol-fed rabbit model to investigate whether DHEA feeding would diminish aortic fatty streak formation in this model. Fifteen N...

Effect of experimentally induced metabolic acidosis on aortic endothelial permeability and serum nitric oxide concentration in normal and high-cholesterol fed rabbits

INTRODUCTION Metabolic acidosis is present in end stage renal disease. There is a link between enhanced endothelial permeability and accelerated atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of experimentally induced metabolic acidosis on aortic endothelial permeability and serum nitric oxide (NO) concentration in normal and high-cholesterol fed rabbits. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twen...

Progestogens do not affect aortic accumulation of cholesterol in ovariectomized cholesterol-fed rabbits.

Cardiovascular disease is a major killer in postmenopausal women in the industrialized societies. To investigate the effect of progestogen and 17 beta-estradiol replacement therapy on atherogenesis, we studied 60 cholesterol-fed ovariectomized rabbits for 13 weeks. They were randomly assigned to four groups of 15 rabbits each and received oral treatment with norethisterone acetate, levonorgestr...

Osteopontin transgenic mice fed a high-cholesterol diet develop early fatty-streak lesions.

BACKGROUND Osteopontin (OPN) is a noncollagenous adhesion protein found at the site of atherosclerotic lesions. However, it has not yet been clarified whether or not OPN can promote atherosclerotic lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated the contribution of OPN to atherosclerosis by evaluating aortic sinus lesions of both OPN transgenic (Tg) and non-Tg mice fed an atherogenic diet (1.25% c...
