Determinants of Atherosclerosis Susceptibility in the C3H and C57BL/6 Mouse Model
26 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Lipids, monocytes, and arterial wall cells are primary components involved in atherogenesis. Using the inbred mouse strains C57BL/6J (B6) and C3H/HeJ (C3H), which have been extensively studied as models of the genetic control of diet-induced atherosclerosis, we examined which of these components determine genetic susceptibility. To test whether dietary responsiveness is involved, a congenic strain of C3H carrying...
