Popis: The activities of acid β-glycerophosphatase and β-glucuronidase, and the contents of protein, DNA, water and cholesterol have been measured in an intima-inner media preparation of aortas of swine fed either high fat-cholesterol or control stock diets for 0, 14, 28, 120 and 240 days. Increased activities of the two enzymes were demonstrated in the aortas of swine fed the high cholesterol diet, but only after gross atherosclerotic lesions were well established. An increased cholesterol content could be detected in the trifurcation area of the aortas as early as 28 days of cholesterol feeding. No significant changes were noted in the concentration of protein, DNA and water content of aortas after cholesterol feeding.
