Abstract excerpt
Lyst(beige) mice crossed with hyperlipidemic low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice (BgLDLr(-/-)) display increased lesion area and a more stable lesion morphology. To verify that the beige phenotype is not unique to LDLr(-/-) mice, we examined atherosclerosis in beige, apolipoprotein E-deficient mutant mice (BgApoE(-/-)). Severe diet-induced hyperlipidemia in BgApoE(-/-) mice resulted in increased...
