Reduction of Excess Cholesterol in the Rabbit Aorta by Inhibition of Endogenous Cholesterol Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatic cholesterol synthesis in rabbits, as measured by the incorporation of C(14)-labelled acetate, was inhibited by addition of non-toxic amounts of vanadyl sulfate (0.05 per cent VOSO(4).2H(2)O) to the diet. This diet reduced excess aortic cholesterol in cholesterol prefed rabbits when fed during the 6 weeks immediately following a 4 week period of cholesterol feeding.

The Effect of Estrogen on Endothelial Permeability of Aorta and the Level of Serum Nitrite Concentration in Cholesterol‑Fed Ovariectomized Rabbit
Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) in postmenopausal women may decrease the risk of Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD). We hypothesized that Nitric Oxide (NO) releasing due to ERT may be the essential factor by which endothelial permeability decreases. Four groups of ovariectomized rabbits were under investigation for five weeks. Groups 1 & 4 received high cholesterol diet and other two groups (2 &...

Introduction:Cholesterol has different effects on memory, and diabetes caused adverse effect on cognition. Since there is not enough evidence regarding the effect of cholesterol on memory of diabetic animals, the effects of cholesterol and simvastatin on the passive avoidance memory of diabetic rat were studied. Methods:The study was done on 60 male Wistar rats (180 ± 20g). Diabetes was in...
متن کاملEffect 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...
متن کاملGender 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...
