Abstract
Using a model of experimental atherogenesis in New Zealand rabbits we found a lower noradrenaline level in the aorta than in the femoral art ery. The activity of monoamine oxidase was decreased in the femoral ar tery and increased in the aorta of the cholesterol-fed animals when co mpared with controls.
