“西方”纯正致动脉粥样硬化饮食
“西式”饮食被喂给基因修饰的心血管模型，如APOE和Ldlr缺乏的小鼠，以加速和促进高胆固醇血症和斑块形成，并引出通常与代谢综合征相关的表型。在动脉粥样硬化的文献中，“西方”饮食通常被描述为含有20-23%乳脂/蝴蝶脂肪、0.2%总胆固醇和34%蔗糖的纯啮齿动物饮食。TD.88137这是一种“西式”饮食的例子，最初的目的是在一种新生成的APOE缺陷小鼠模型中描述和促进动脉粥样硬化的发展。联系我们，以获得更多关于“西方”风格的饮食，修改，或可能的控制饮食。

添加胆固醇和胆酸来源的“西方”纯动脉粥样硬化饮食*
野生型小鼠和大鼠一般对动脉粥样硬化有抵抗力，需要更极端的饮食操作来改变脂蛋白谱，形成轻度动脉粥样硬化(泡沫细胞、脂肪条纹)。现代配方完全是由纯化成分制成的，因为据报道，这种更精细的方法可以减少较少精制和较传统饮食方法引起的胆结石和肝脏损害的发生率。为了在野生型动物中诱导轻度动脉粥样硬化，可对“西方”纯化饲料进行改良，以提高胆固醇(1-1.25%)，并添加胆酸钠或胆酸等胆盐。联系我们获得更多的信息，修改，或可能的控制饮食。

添加胆固醇和胆酸盐的混合高脂饮食*
贝弗利·派根和他的同事首先通过喂养一种混合性动脉粥样硬化饮食来描述C57BL/6小鼠动脉粥样硬化的发展。这种混合饲料是通过将一种天然成分的老鼠饲料按3：1的比例与浓缩的纯化饲料(含5%胆固醇和2%胆酸钠；称为Thoms-Hartroft饮食)混合而成的。产生的混合物在TD.88051/TD.90221(同配方)含有~15.8%脂肪、1.25%胆固醇和0.5%胆酸钠。这组人后来将混合动脉粥样硬化饮食方法与更现代的“西方”纯化动脉粥样硬化饮食方法进行了比较，并添加了胆固醇和胆酸盐，发现混合动脉粥样硬化饮食会导致更多的胆结石和肝脏损伤。混合饮食含有多种未精制的成分，这些成分可能会改变血脂代谢和动脉粥样硬化的发生，并且不允许对成分和营养物进行精确控制，以用于慢性病的研究。虽然已经开发出了更精细的饮食，但混合动脉粥样硬化饮食仍然是野生型小鼠和大鼠诱发轻度动脉粥样硬化和胆结石的流行食品。联系我们获得更多的信息，修改，或可能的控制饮食。

添加胆固醇的标准饮食
标准的，添加胆固醇的天然成分饮食是用来诱导高胆固醇血症的。不同水平的胆固醇，脂肪和/或胆汁酸盐可以添加到众多的标准啮齿动物饮食之一，由EnvigoTeclad。在许多应用中，建议将这些成分添加到Envigo的最小到中等植物雌激素的全球啮齿动物饮食中。我们最小的植物雌激素全球啮齿动物饮食是不含豆粕的，限制了植物雌激素对你的研究结果的影响。豆粕是一种常见的植物雌激素来源，它可以减少主动脉脂肪条纹的发育，改善血浆胆固醇，从而降低动脉粥样硬化的风险。限制饮食豆粕可能会减少饮食诱导动脉粥样硬化模型中的混杂变量。联系营养学家讨论其他饮食选择。

“Western” purified atherogenic diet
“Western” style diets are fed to genetically-modified cardiovascular models, such as Apoe and Ldlr deficient mice, to accelerate and enhance hypercholesterolemia and plaque formation and to elicit phenotypes commonly associated with metabolic syndrome. Within the atherogenic literature, a “Western” diet typically is described as a purified rodent diet with 20-23% milkfat/butterfat, 0.2% total cholesterol, and 34% sucrose by weight. TD.88137 is an example of a “Western” style diet that was originally designed to characterize and enhance atherosclerosis development in a newly generated Apoe-deficient mouse model. Contact us for more information about “Western” style diets, modifications, or possible control diets.
Examples:
Examples:
- TD.88137 Adjusted calories diet (42% from fat, 0.2% total cholesterol)
- TD.10885 45% fat Kcal diet (0.2% total cholesterol)
Research use:
Accelerated hypercholesterolemia and plaque formation in genetically-modified models, such as Apoe and Ldlr deficient mice.
Used for diet-induced obesity in a variety of rodent models.
Key dietary features:
- High Fat Diet (20-23% by weight; 40 – 45% kcal from fat)
- Saturated fatty acids (SFA >60% of total fatty acids)
- Milkfat/butterfat
- Sucrose (34% by weight)
- Cholesterol (0.2% total)

“Western” purified atherogenic diet with added cholesterol and cholate source*
Wild type mice and rats generally are resistant to atherosclerosis, requiring more extreme dietary manipulation to modify lipoprotein profiles and develop mild atherosclerosis (foam cells, fatty streaks). Modern formulations are made completely of purified ingredients because this more refined approach has been reported to decrease the incidence of gallstones and liver damage associated with less refined and more traditional dietary approaches. To induce mild atherosclerosis in wild type animals, the “Western” purified diet can be modified to increase cholesterol (1-1.25%) and add a bile salt such as sodium cholate or cholic acid. Contact us for more information, modifications, or possible control diets.

Contact us for additional options.
Hybrid high fat diets with added cholesterol and cholate source*
Beverly Paigen and colleagues first characterized atherosclerosis development in C57BL/6 mice by feeding a hybrid atherogenic diet. The hybrid diet was created by mixing a natural ingredient mouse diet in a 3:1 ratio with a concentrated purified diet (containing 5% cholesterol and 2% sodium cholate; referred to as Thomas-Hartroft diet). The resulting mixture recreated in TD.88051/TD.90221 (same formula) contains ~15.8% fat, 1.25% cholesterol, and 0.5% sodium cholate. This group later compared the hybrid atherogenic diet approach to the more modern “western” purified atherogenic diet with added cholesterol and cholate and found that the hybrid atherogenic diet induced more gallstones and liver damage. Hybrid diets contain a variety of unrefined ingredients that may modify lipid metabolism and atherogenesis and do not allow for precise control of ingredients and nutrients for the study of chronic diseases. Although more refined diets have been developed, hybrid atherogenic diets are still popular for inducing mild atherosclerosis and gallstones in wild type mice and rats. Contact us for more information, modifications, or possible control diets.

Standard diets with added cholesterol
Standard, natural ingredient diets with cholesterol added are fed to induce hypercholesterolemia. Various levels of cholesterol, fat, and/or bile salts can be added to one of the numerous standard rodent diets stocked by Envigo Teklad. For many applications, adding these components to Envigo’s minimal-to-moderate phytoestrogen global rodent diets is recommended. Our minimal phytoestrogen global rodent diets are soybean meal free, limiting the effect of phytoestrogens on your research outcomes. Soybean meal, a common dietary source of phytoestrogens, has been shown to decrease aortic fatty streak development and modify plasma cholesterol, which may reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis. Limiting dietary soybean meal may reduce confounding variables within your dietary-induced atherosclerosis model. Contact a nutritionist to discuss additional diet options.
Examples of minimal and moderate phytoestrogen rodent diets with added cholesterol:
Examples of minimal and moderate phytoestrogen rodent diets with added cholesterol:
- TD.120097 1% cholesterol diet (2020 – minimal phytoestrogens)
- TD.07841 2% cholesterol diet (2016 – minimal phytoestrogens)
- TD.01383 2% cholesterol (2018 – Moderate phytoestrogens)
Research use:
Induce hypercholesterolemia in genetically-modified and wild type models without promoting obesity.
Key dietary features:
- Standard, grain-based rodent diet
- Minimal/moderate phytoestrogen diets recommended
- Cholesterol (1 – 4%)
