Effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide on serum lipids and on the development of aortic atherosclerosis in rabbits. 1986

Y Kerttula, and M Vaara, and L Pyhälä, and H Sariola, and E Kostiainen, and J K Huttunen

The effect of repeated intravenous administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on serum lipids and on aortic atherosclerosis was studied in rabbits on basal diet and on hypercholesterolemic diets containing 0.15-1.0% cholesterol. LPS (10 or 100 ng/kg body weight) was administered 3 times per week for 3 or 6 weeks. No difference was observed in serum lipid levels or in aortic atherosclerosis between LPS- and saline-treated animals. These observations do not support the hypothesis that LPS has an effect on the progression of atherosclerosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
D008297 Male Males
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001161 Arteriosclerosis Thickening and loss of elasticity of the walls of ARTERIES of all sizes. There are many forms classified by the types of lesions and arteries involved, such as ATHEROSCLEROSIS with fatty lesions in the ARTERIAL INTIMA of medium and large muscular arteries. Arterioscleroses
