Abstract
and death worldwide. Liver plays a huge role in pathogenesis
of atherogenic dislipidemia, development and progression of
atherosclerotic lesions. We studied the effect of atherogenic
diet on liver morphology in animal model of diet-induced
atherosclerosis in mice Mus musculus C57BI6. This strain
has a natural ability to develop atherosclerosis, while some
other mouse stains has not. After 14 weeks on atherogenic
diet a severe hepathomegaly (9% of body mass) and lobular
structure deformation was found. We also observed signs of
micro- and macrovesicular steatosis, cell apoptosis, fibrosis
and inflammatory leukocyte infiltration. So, liver not only plays
an important role in dislipidemia, but it is also a target-organ
in lipid metabolism imbalance.
