SERUM CHOLESTEROL VALUES OF THE NIH WHHL RABBIT

研究事务司兽医资源处成立 渡边遗传性高脂血症兔(WHHL)繁育群体 作为需要使用这种动物的调查人员的资源 模特。菌落的特征是血清总胆固醇， 脂蛋白各组份的胆固醇水平与血清甘油三酯 级别。从以下年龄段的兔子身上采集血液；6岁 几周、三个月、七个月和一年。血清总胆固醇 平均值为828 mg/dl，最低为310 mg/dl，最低为1251 mg/dl。低谷 密度脂蛋白胆固醇的范围从到1185毫克/分升， 平均值为630 mg/dl。血清甘油三酯的值从107到959不等。 Mg/dl，平均394 mg/dl。

The Veterinary Resources Branch, Division of Research Services established a Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic Rabbit (WHHL) breeding colony to be used as a resource for investigators requiring the use of this animal model. The colony is being characterized for serum total cholesterol, cholesterol levels of the lipoprotein fractions and serum triglyceride levels. Blood is being collected from rabbits at the following ages; six weeks, three months, seven months, and one year. Total serum cholesterol values ranged from 310 to 1251 mg/dl with a mean of 828 mg/dl. The low density lipoprotein cholesterol values ranges from to 1185 mg/dl with a mean of 630 mg/dl. The serum triglyceride values ranged from 107 to 959 mg/dl with a mean of 394 mg/dl.
