The present application relates to the technical field of
animal model construction, and relates to a fetal origin atherosclerosis susceptible model and a construction method and application thereof.The construction method of the fetal origin atherosclerosis susceptible model comprises the following steps: S1, selecting healthy pregnant ApoE- / - mice, subcutaneously injecting
dexamethasone twice a day at 16-17 days of
pregnancy, the injection amount of
dexamethasone is 0.6-0.8 mg / kg of the
body weight of the
pregnant female mouse, and the
pregnant female mouse is free to eat; S2, the
pregnant female mouse naturally gives birth to F1 generation, the male and female
offspring are weaned and separated into cages at 3-4 weeks after birth, and continue to be normally fed until 6-7 weeks after birth, and then high-fat high-
cholesterol feed is given to feed until 18-19 weeks; the fetal origin atherosclerosis susceptible model is obtained.The present application successfully constructs the fetal origin atherosclerosis susceptible model by injecting
dexamethasone at a
specific time, and the atherosclerosis
lesion of the model presents a significant aggravation effect.
