EXPERIMENTAL INDUCTION OF ATHERO-ARTERIOSCLEROSIS BY THE SYNERGY OF ALLERGIC INJURY TO ARTERIES AND LIPID-RICH DIET

Abstract

In rabbits that received a dietary supplement of cholesterol, 0.5% by weight, and concommittant injections of horse serum (group III) over a period of 80 days, coronary arterial lesions developed that in the main were different in quality and distribution from those in rabbits that received the cholesterol supplement alone (group I), and of different quality from but in distribution similar to those in rabbits that received horse serum alone (group II).
