An animal model has been developed where the animals can survive myocardial infarctions caused by diet-induced coronary atherosclerosis, and live with chronic heart failure. This animal model is a result of reduced activity of scavenger receptor class BI (SR-BI) and ApoE and the inducible activity of the Mx1-Cre gene. In a preferred embodiment, the model is a result of crossbreeding two transgenic mouse lines: a knockout of SR-BI (SRBI− / −) and an impaired ApoE expressor (Apoeh / h) to generate a strain referred to as Apoeh / hSRB1− / − mice, which is then crossbred to mice that carry the inducible Mx1-Cre transgene. The Apoeh / hSRB1− / − mouse model is genetically modified, enabling the offspring to rapidly and permanently lower their high blood cholesterol levels caused by dietary challenge. The ability to rapidly and permanently lower blood cholesterol levels in these mice stops and may cause the regression of occlusive coronary atherosclerosis restoring blood flow to the heart, allowing the mice to survive from myocardial infarction and live with chronic heart failure.

Blood cholesterol levels are correlated with production of amyloid β protein (Aβ), and are predictors of populations at risk of developing AD. Methods for lowering blood cholesterol levels can be used to decrease production of Aβ, thereby decreasing the risk of developing AD. The same methods and compositions can also be used for treating individuals diagnosed with AD. Methods include administration of compounds which increase uptake of cholesterol by the liver, such as the administration of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, administration of compounds which block endogenous cholesterol production, such as administration of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, administration of compositions which prevent uptake of dietary cholesterol, and administration of combinations of any of these which are effective to lower blood cholesterol levels. Methods have also been developed to predict populations at risk, based on the role of cholesterol in production of Aβ. For example, individuals with Apo E4 and high cholesterol, defined as a blood cholesterol level of greater than 200 mg / dl, post menopausal women with high cholesterol levels—especially those who are not taking estrogen, or individuals which high blood cholesterol levels who are not obese are all at risk of developing AD if blood cholesterol levels are not decreased.
