      Abstract

      The effect of pyridinol carbamate on cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis in the rabbit was investigated in 28 animals. The diet was given for 8 months. The effect of pyridinol carbamate on lactate-NAD-tetrazolium reductase and ATPase activities of the abdominal and thoracic aortae was examined histochemically.
      The animals were divided into 4 dietary groups:
      • 1.
        1. regular diet (commercial rabbit food pellets, Orion)
      • 2.
        2. regular diet + pyridinol carbamate (100 mg/kg)
      • 3.
        3. regular diet + cholesterol (1 %)
      • 4.
        4. regular diet + cholesterol (1 %) + pyridinol carbamate (100 mg/kg).
      Lactate-NAD-tetrazolium reductase and ATPase were identical in the samples taken from the thoracic and abdominal aortae in all groups.
      No atherosclerotic formation was noted in dietary groups 1 and 2. Lactate-NAD-tetrazolium reductase and ATPase activities were identical in these two groups.
      Pyridinol carbamate was not observed to have any effect on lactate-NAD-tetrazolium reductase and ATPase activities of the aorta and atheroma plaques of the rabbit.
