Comparison of Cholesterol and Estrogen-Induced Atherosclerosis in Cockerels.

Abstract
Artery and blood serum changes associated with atherosclerosis induced in young cockerels with pharmacologic amounts of estrogen and cholesterol, separately and combined, were compared. A critical level of estrogen caused more rapid plaque formation than cholesterol, and the degree of hypercholesterolemia did not determine the extent of atheromatosis.
