Characterization of a novel model for atherosclerosis imaging: the apolipoprotein E-deficient rat

ConclusionThese data demonstrate early signs of hypercholesterolemia, high levels of bile acids, the development of atherosclerotic lesions, and macrophage accumulation inapoE−/− rats. Therefore, this model shows promise for atherosclerosis imaging studies.
