Abstract
There have been many hypotheses concerning the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and no single one has thus far completely been able to explain it. We have noticed a high incidence of ducubital ulcers of the pads during cholesterol-induced hyperlipdemia in the rabbit [1–3]. In the present study, we tried to elucidate the etiological factors of decubital ulcers of pads induced by experimental hyperlipidemia from hemorheological aspects of the cutaneous microcirculation in the rabbit.
