Effects of chronic excess saltfeeding. Elevation of plasma cholesterol in rats and dogs.

Among female rats and dogs which were fed excess salt for periods of about 1 and 4 years, respectively, elevations in plasma cholesterol concentrations were frequent and in some cases, quite marked. Rats on a similar regimen for only 2 and 6 months had less frequent and significantly lesser elevations of cholesterol. The lipid changes did not appear to be related primarily to increased blood pressure, kidney disease, differences in body weight or food consumption. There is no present evidence which suggests that this phenomenon is related to atherogenesis although it was speculated that this was possible.

Dissimilarity in oxygen consumption between the thoracic and abdominal aorta in rats.

Measurement of oxygen uptake by thoracic and abdominal segments of rat aorta showed significantly lower rates in the abdominal than in the thoracic aorta of adult animals. The evidence suggests that as a rat ages the respiratory rate of abdominal aorta falls more sharply than that of the thoracic segment. This result may provide an explanation for the relatively high incidence of atherosclerosis in abdominal aorta.
