A Quantitative Study of the Aorta of the New Zealand Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.)

Abstract: Ten segments of the aorta of the rabbit were studied quantitatively. The thoracic and abdominal aorta of the rabbit were measured from proximal to distal and parallel to the reduced diameter, demonstrating a decreasing thickness of the tunica intima and tunica media that becomes physiologically apparent during adulthood in these commonly used laboratory animals. The ratio of intimal to medial thickness, multiplied by 100, was calculated and found to be between 2.56 and 3.74 for the thoracic aorta and 4.03 and … Show more

“…The remaining three rabbits were fed rabbit chow supplemented with 1% ͑w/w͒ cholesterol ͑Harlan Teklad, Indianapolis, Indiana͒ daily for eight weeks to induce atherosclerotic lesions. 64 One additional normal-fed and one additional cholesterol-fed rabbit ͑approximately 13 weeks old͒ were used to obtain the first set of test samples ͑12 in total͒ for validation of the established classification models. Two more normal-diet and two more cholesterol-fed rabbits ͑approximately 13 weeks old͒ were used to obtain the second set of test samples ͑56 in total͒ to further validate the classification models.…”

“…Deep surgical anaesthesia was performed by using Xylazine Hydrochloride (Xylaxin ® , Indian Immunologicals Ltd., India) at a dose of 10mg/kg b.w. and ketamine Hydrochloride (G-ketemine ® , Gonoshasthaya Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Bangladesh) at a dose of 40mg/kg BW intramuscularly followed by the method described earlier [7] . After general anaesthesia, rabbits were positioned dorso-ventraly for dissection.…”
