Abstract
Experiments were undertaken to study the role of hyperinsulinism in the pathogenesis of atheroma. Chickens injected with long-acting insulin for 19 weeks developed lipid containing lesions in their aortas. This provides further evidence in favour of the hypothesis that insulin and atheroma are causally related.
