Hypercholesterolemia induced cerebral small vessel disease

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: While hypercholesterolemia plays a causative role for the development of ischemic stroke in large vessels, its significance for cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains unclear. We thus aimed to understand the detailed relationship between hypercholesterolemia and CSVD using the well described Ldlr-/- mouse model. METHODS: We used Ldlr-/- mice (n = 16) and wild-type (WT) mice (n = 15) at the age...
