  • Title: [Effect of food with a high content of sunflower oil on the structure of vascular wall of rats on a low-protein diet].
    Author: Pozdniakov AL, Levachev MM, Ponomareva LG.
    Journal: Vopr Pitan; 1984; (2):50-4. PubMed ID: 6741021.
    Abstract:
    It has been shown in experiments on rats fed a low-protein diet (5% according to the caloric value) that sunflower oil introduced into the diet in a high amount (50% according to the caloric value) does not exert any protective effect on the wall of the blood vessels (aorta, coronary and intrarenal arteries). The animals develop moderately marked morphological alterations similar to those seen in feeding a low-protein diet with high butter content. These alterations can be described as follows: the elastic fibers of the intima and media lose the tinctorial properties and elasticity; they swell and branch in some places; the destruction sites demonstrate the clusters of neutral and acid mucopolysaccharides.
