Abstract excerpt
We characterized the acute effects of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxidized-LDL) on vascular reactivity in isolated aorta from wild-type C57BL/6J mice, and compared these with the chronic alterations in vascular function observed in apolipoprotein-E gene knockout [ApoE(-/-)] mice fed a high-fat diet, which results in hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. In the abdominal (but not thoracic) aorta, oxidized-LDL...
