Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality over the world, which is approximately 17.9 million patients’ death in 2019 or 32% of all deaths worldwide. Atherosclerosis formation due to accumulated plaques in the tunica intima of vascular walls underlies the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Inactive life style and bad diet are the major risk factors of these diseases. This study investigated the different effect of high-fat diets on body mass index (BMI), lipid profile and vascular wall thickness (VWT) in rats model atherosclerosis. A total of 10 male Wistar rats were used in this experimental study. The Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups (A and B). Group A was fed by the DYETs food while group B were given local high fat foods. The BMI was calculated using body weight (BW) and body length. Internal carotid artery thickness was measured using a linear ultrasound. The t-tests were performed to compare within and between groups. There was a significant difference in carotid artery thickness between two groups with p < 0.05 but the mean BMI of group A did not differ from the mean BMI of group B with p > 0.05. In conclusion, A local high fat diet has a similar effect in obesity induction of male Wistar rats, compared to DYETs diet although a higher increased internal carotid artery thickness is detected in the later diet. Further research is required to identify histopathologically the plaque structure.
