Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to analyze the early events in atherogenesis and the role of pro- or anti-atherosclerotic proteins in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. We used apolipoprotein E-deficient (E(0)) mice that spontaneously develop hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerotic lesions in the aorta in a time-dependent manner. Aortas of mice aged 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks were examined to determine...
