Popis: Renin-angiotensin system activation is recognized to play an important role in atherosclerosis. This study aimed to verify the antiatherosclerotic effects of ACE inhibition on an experimental model of diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Diabetes was induced in New Zealand male rabbits with a single dose of alloxan (100 mg/kg, IV), and, according to plasma glucose levels obtained after 1 week, the animals were divided into 2 groups (≥250 mg/dL or
