Effect of exercise on blood coagulation time and atherosclerosis of cholesterol-fed cockerels

In cholesterol-fed cockerels, brisk walking was found to exert a favorable effect on atherogenesis. In addition, exercise significantly lengthened blood coagulation times and increased body weight gains. Vascular and hepatic cholesterol concentrations were significantly lower in exercised than in nonexercised controls. Biochemical evidence is presented indicating a greater susceptibility of the brachiocephalic arteries to atherosclerosis than the other arteries examined.

Effect of experimental renal hypertension on experimental thiouracil-cholesterol atherosclerosis in dogs

Experimental renal hypertension accelerated the onset and accentuated the severity of thiouracil-cholesterol atherosclerosis in dogs. Increased blood pressure and other hemodynamic changes appear to be responsible for these effects. Hypertension and sex were without significant effect on serum cholesterol, cholesterol: phospholipid ratio and low density lipoproteins. Sex had no significant effect on the incidence or severity of this experimental atherosclerosis, including coronary involvement.
