Chromium and cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis in rabbits
1991
Abraham, A.S. | Brooks, B.A. | Eylath, U.
Thirty-three rabbits on a cholesterol-enriched diet were randomized into 6 groups and treated with daily injections of either water, 20 micrograms of potassium chromate or 1, 5, 10 or 20 micrograms of chromium chloride, respectively, for 135 days with a 2- to 10-fold increase in serum chromium. There was a marked reduction in the percentage of aortic intimal surface covered by plaque, in aortic weight and cholesterol content in the treated animals. Rabbits treated with 20 micrograms of chromium chloride showed a better response than those treated with either 10 or 20 micrograms of potassium chromate.
