Abstract
The question of possible causative interaction between aging and atherogenesis is difficult to address experimentally. However, before considering aging/atherogenesis in animal models, the ideal criteria for animal models for aging research, in general, should be discussed. These criteria are listed in Table 12-1. They should be taken into account before initiating research on aging in which an animal model is to be used.
