Abstract:
Due to present unavailability of Alkiron the authors tried to substitute it by Carbimazole in atherogenic diet aimed at inducing advanced atherosclerosis in rats. Carbimazole proved to be entirely ineffective in this respect and thus the thiouracil derivatives cannot be substituted by it.
