A study was made of events occurring in the arterial wall of the rat after administration of an
atherogenic, calcification-inducing diet and of vascular response in a model of combined
metabolic aggression (atherogenic, calcification-inducing diet) and surgical aggression
(adventitial resection). Female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an atherogenic, calcification-
inducing diet for 24 consecutive days, after which half the rats returned to standard diet
(group I, n= 12) and the other half (group II) underwent resection of the adventitia on a …
