Defects of the LDL receptor in WHHL transgenic rabbits lead to a marked accumulation of plasma lipoprotein[a]

In this study, we created LDL receptor (LDLr) defective (WHHL) transgenic rabbits expressing human apo[a] to examine whether LDLr mediates the Lp[a] clearance from the plasma. By crossbreeding WHHL rabbits with human apo[a] transgenic rabbits, we obtained two groups of human apo[a] transgenic rabbit...
