Abstract

Data relating to the effects of calcium channel blockers on experimental atherosclerosis in rabbits are inconsistent with most studies finding no effect on either serum lipids or atherosclerosis. We have administered flordipine (5, 15 or 45 mg/kg/day) for 10 weeks to rabbits fed 1% cholesterol and 4% corn oil. At no level of treatment was there an effect on serum or liver lipids or on aortic sudanophilia.
