   "Using one of several available mouse strains that are susceptible to atherosclerosis such as apolipoprotein E-null or low density lipoprotein receptor-null mice, studies involving the feeding of high fat and high cholesterol diet can be performed to induce atherosclerosis in mice. The appropriate tissues can be harvested at the end of the study and the extent of atherosclerosis can be quantitatively measured." (http://www2.jabsom.hawaii.edu/mousecore/)
