Quantitation of atherosclerosis in murine models: correlation between lesions in the aortic origin and in the entire aorta, and differences in the extent of lesions between sexes in LDL receptor-deficient and apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
Murine strains susceptible to atherosclerosis provide valuable models to study factors involved in atherogenesis. In some murine models, limited hypercholesterolemia can be achieved and lesions develop primarily in the aortic origin, in the vicinity of the aortic valve. In other models such as LDL r...
