The Effects of Low Density Lipoproteins in Endothelial Mediated Vasoactivity in the Coronary Circulation in Swine

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia, which includes high concentrations of low density /lipoproteins (LDL), alters normal endothelial functions in patients with atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of low density lipoproteins on endothelial mediated changes in coronary blood flow and coronary vascular resistance in hypercholesterolemic swine. Animals were assigned at random into three groups (n=5/group).
