DOTTED COLLAR PLACED AROUND CAROTID ARTERY INDUCES ASYMMETRIC NEOINTIMAL LESION FORMATION IN RABBITS WITHOUT INTRAVASCULAR MANIPULATIONS

Dotted collar placed around carotid artery induces asymmetric neointimal lesion formation in rabbits without intravascular manipulations

Abstract Background Neointimal formation in atherosclerosis has been subject for intense research.However, good animal models mimicking asymmetrical lesion formation in human subjects have been difficult to establish.The aim of this study was to develop a model which would lead to the formation of South Park eccentric lesions under macroscopically

Chronic inflammation is now a well-known precursor for cancer development.Infectious prostatitis are the most common causes of prostate inflammation, but emerging evidence points the role of metabolic disorders as a potential source of cancer-related inflammation.Although the widely used treatment for prostate cancer based on androgen deprivation t
