Spontaneous and High Cholesterol Diet-induced Arteriosclerosis
A B S T RA C T The aortas of 11 pigs (aged 1-3 yr) with homozygous von Willebrand's disease (vWd) were compared with those of 11 normal pigs of the same ages. Six of the controls exhibited multiple arteriosclerotic plaques with intimal thickening of 63130 jum. In contrast, none of the pigs with vWd had multiple plaques, and only one had a lesion >2 mm in diameter. In a subsequent study, 3-mo-ol...
full textSpontaneous Aortic Lesions in Rabbits
Lesions in the rabbit aorta that occur spontaneously and contain no lipid consist of intimal mesenchymal proliferation and of medial sclerosis. Although the relationship of diet-induced atheroma to the intimal mesenchymal alterations is still not clear, our experiments have established that (a) the morphologic characteristics of diet-induced atheroma and of the spontaneous medial lesions are di...
full textSpontaneous Coronary Arteriosclerosis in Repeatedly Bred Male and Female Rats.
• The spontaneous development of generalized arteriosclerosis in several strains of repeatedly bred male and female rats has been reported. The arterial lesions remain microscopic in the male but in the female breeder the lesions become more prominent and can be easily recognized grossly. Of particular importance is the fact that these arterial lesions develop spontaneously although the rats ar...
full textInterleukin-4 inhibits spontaneous sleep in rabbits.
Proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α, are involved in sleep regulation. IL-4 is an antiinflammatory cytokine that inhibits proinflammatory cytokine production. The hypothesis that IL-4 should attenuate sleep was studied by determining the effects of IL-4 on rabbit spontaneous sleep. Thirty-six rabbits were used. Four doses of IL-4 (0.25, 2.5, 2...
full textInhibition of arteriosclerosis by T-cell depletion in normocholesterolemic rabbits immunized with heat shock protein 65.
Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that arteriosclerotic changes can be induced in normocholesterolemic rabbits by immunization with mycobacterial heat shock protein (hsp) 65. To further investigate the immunologic mechanisms underlying such vascular lesions, 39 male New Zealand White rabbits were treated by triple immunization with fortified Freund's complete adjuvant containing 5 m...
full textInduction of arteriosclerosis in normocholesterolemic rabbits by immunization with heat shock protein 65.
Previous studies have established the presence of high numbers of activated T lymphocytes and "aberrant" expression of major histocompatibility complex class II antigens by endothelial and smooth muscle cells in human atherosclerotic lesions, implicating the involvement of a local cellular immune response. The identity of the antigen(s) eliciting this immune response, the extent of their effect...
