Fatty Streak Formation in Fat-Fed Mice Expressing Human Copper-Zinc Superoxide Dismutase
1 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
Studies in vitro have shown that copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) inhibits a number of events putatively involved in atherogenesis, including cell-mediated oxidation of LDL. To investigate whether increased activity of CuZn-SOD reduces atherogenesis in vivo, we examined diet-induced fatty streak formation in CuZn-SOD transgenic mice (n = 24) as compared with their nontransgenic littermates (n = 28)....
