The impact of a humanized bile acid composition on atherosclerosis development in hypercholesterolaemic Cyp2c70 knockout mice by Tess Yntema, Tim R. Eijgenraam, Niels J. Kloosterhuis, Rick Havinga, Mirjam H. Koster, Milaine V. Hovingh, Jan Freark de Boer, Debby P. Y. Koonen, Folkert Kuipers

“…Interestingly, we found a trend (p = 0.08) towards smaller atherosclerotic lesions in the aortic root of Cyp2c70 −/− mice, but no effect on cardiac morphology or function was observed. To conclude, a human-like BA composition ameliorated PCSK9-GOF-induced hypercholesterolaemia in WD-fed mice which translated into a tendency towards smaller atherosclerotic lesions.…”
