Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Studies regarding atherosclerosis models preparation commonly established by feeding high-fat diet or arterial intimal injury to healthy or hyperlipoidemia animals.OBJECTIVE:To establish atherosclerosis models induced by feeding high-fat diet combined with arterial intimal injury of ventral aorta with balloon.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A comparative observation experiment was performed at the Animal Experimental Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January to March 2007.MATERIALS:Twenty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into high-fat diet,and high-fat diet combined with arterial intimal injury groups,with 10 animals in each group.High-fat diet was composed of common forage,4% cholesterol,10% pork fat and 10% egg yolk powder.METHODS:Rabbits in the high-fat diet group were fed with high-fat diet.Animals in the high-fat diet combined with arterial intimal injury group were underwent operation of sacculus injury after fed with high-fat diet for 4 weeks.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Arteriae aorta was harvested after 12 weeks of operation and received pathological examination,thickness ratio of fatty streak and plaque,intima,and tunica media was calculated.Serum total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL) was measured.RESULTS:After 12 weeks,the levels of TC,TG,HDL and LDL were increased,which was more obviously in the high-fat diet combined with arterial intimal injury group(P
