title: Atherogenic change in the thoracic aorta of the senescence-accelerated mouse.
abstract: Biochemical and histological changes in the thoracic aorta of the senescence-accelerated prone mouse were examined in comparison with those of the senescence-accelerated resistant mouse. At 3 and 5 months of age, the lipid peroxide level in the thoracic aorta was higher in the former than in the latter. At 5 months of age, levels of both total cholesterol and triglycerides in the aorta were higher in the former than in the latter, and vice versa for the level of aortic phospholipids. At 5 months of age, the prone mice showed macrophage invasion beneath the endothelial cells of the thoracic aorta, whereas the resistant ones did not.
