We examined the vascular structure and endothelium-dependent relaxation in two genetic models of hypercholesterolemia: apolipoprotein E (apoE)-knockout mice and combined apoE/LDL receptor-double-knockout mice. Intimal area was increased markedly in proximal segments of thoracic aortas from apoE/LDL receptor-knockout mice [0.13+/-0.03 (mean+/-SE) mm(2)] compared with normal (C57BL/6J) mice (0.002+/-0.002 mm(2), P
