title: Long term lathyrism and atherogenic diet in the rat. Protective action of pyridinol carbamate.
abstract: In the rat, prolonged administration (7 months) of Beta-Aminopropionitrile in association with a hyperlipidic diet caused the formation of widespread pronounced atheroma. The addition of Pyridinol Carbamate during the treatment minimized and retarded the appearance of lipid overload lesions. The histological modifications were found together with an increase in the free cholesterol fraction. These two observations explain the protective role of Pyridinol Carbamate on the wall of the aorta.
