Abstract
There have been many studies utilizing various drugs in animal models to learn if the cause of experimental atherosclerosis can be modified by these therapeutic agents. Corticosteroid, (Bailey and Butler, 1966) estrogen, (Wolinsky, 1972; Rhee et al., 1974; Numano et al., 1972) pyridinolcarbamate, (Numano et al., 1972; Shimamoto and Numano, 1969; Shimamoto et al., 1972) colchicine, (Hollander et al., 1974; Lee et al., 1976) penicillamine, (Hollander et al., 1974) acetylsalicylic acid, (Hollander et al., 1974) and heparin (Rowsell et al., 1965) have been most widely tested aside from hypocholesterolemic drugs. Their effects appear to be different in different species of animals.
