title: [Anti-atherosclerotic action of mildronate in experiment].
abstract: Mildronate is a new antiischemic drug which inhibits biosynthesis of carnitine from butyrobetaine. We studied antiatherosclerotic and antiinflammatory effects of mildronate in guinea-pigs, rats and rabbits. We found a hypolipidemic action of this substance in rats with triton WR-1339 hyperlipidemia. A protective antiatherosclerotic effect of mildronate was observed in rabbits kept on the atherogenic diet for 3 months. Antiinflammatory efficiency of mildronate in rats was demonstrated after injection of bradykinin, carragenine or implantation of a small cotton-wool pad.
