  • Title: Quantitative measurements of early atherosclerotic lesions on rabbit aortae from vascular casts.
    Author: Zeindler CM, Kratky RG, Roach MR.
    Journal: Atherosclerosis; 1989 Apr; 76(2-3):245-55. PubMed ID: 2730721.
    Abstract:
    We have measured the size and location of fatty atherosclerotic lesions in the cholesterol fed rabbit by scanning electron microscopic analysis of vascular casts. The aortic periorificial lesions examined in this study have been divided into proximal (upstream), distal (downstream) and lateral (to the sides of the branch). Lateral lesions developed after 1 week on diet, followed by distal lesions at 2 weeks, and occasional proximal lesions at 4 weeks. The area covered by the lesions shows a strong linear relationship (P less than 0.001) to the cross-sectional area of the branch after 2 weeks on the cholesterol diet.
