Abstract
The Japanese quail has been considered useful for the study of experimental atherosclerosis since the original reports of Ojerio et al. (1) and of Smith and Hilker (2). However, in the use of these not selectively bred animals the appearance of gross lesions was not uniform or took up to 28 months for their production. Furthermore, microscopic examination of the lesions was totally or practically neglected.
