Abstract:
Aim To establish a rat aortic calcification sub-chronic model induced by vitamin D3 and nicotine.Methods The vascular calcification model was produced by vitamin D3(300 kIU?kg-1,im) plus nicotine(25 mg?kg-1,5 ml?kg-1,po).Rat body weight and blood pressure were monitored on a regular basis.Ratio of heart to body weight,plasma calcium,plasma phosphate content,vascular calcium content,Von Kossa staining,activity of alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and 45Ca deposition in aorta were measured as the index of calcification at the 8th and the 16th week.Results Compared with control group,the VDN group rats showed higher values of blood pressure from the 3rd week(all P
