... on HDL-C levels but also on a metabolic background of increased low-density lipoprotein or very-low-density lipoprotein. Here we investigated the effects of JTT-705, a chemical inhibitor of CETP, on the development of atherosclerosis in Japanese white rabbits fed on a high cholesterol diet. After 4 weeks...

... located on the apical membrane of the alveolar epithelium contribute to CO 2 elimination by the lung. To test whether these membrane proteins contribute to CO 2 elimination in vivo , we measured CO 2 exchange in buffer- and blood-perfused rabbit lungs before and after addition of 0.5mM ZnCl 2...

... oxidation markers [autoantibodies against oxidized LDL, autoantibodies against malondialdehyde-modified LDL, LDL immune complexes and anti-cardiolipin autoantibodies], paraoxonase activity and the development of atherosclerosis in control rabbits and in transgenic rabbits expressing human apolipoprotein...

...I. B. Faris; G. G. Jamieson; J. Ludbrook 1. Blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac output were measured in six rabbits before, during and immediately after treadmill exercise. During the same periods the dynamic gain of the carotid-sinus baroreceptor reflex was estimated by creating a sinusoidal...

...Manjusri Das; A. N. Radhakrishnan 1. A comparative study has been made of glycyl-l-leucine hydrolase activity in the soluble and particulate fractions of intestinal mucosa from monkey, guinea-pig, rabbit and rat. The specific activity of the soluble enzyme is very high in monkey and guinea-pig...

...J. K. Healy; A. J. Elliott 1. Experiments in rabbits confirmed that natriuresis induced by a continuous 2-h intravenous infusion of angiotensin is temporary and declines after 1 h. A similar transient increase in magnesium and calcium excretion occurred. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and blood...

...Diana Trenchard; D. Gardner; A. Guz 1. The administration of the polysaccharide carageenin through a catheter into the lungs of cats and rabbits has produced an inflammatory lesion confined to one lobe of a lung. The lesion consisted of an alveolar and interstitial infiltration...
