This report describes studies in hyperlipidemic New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits investigating the impact of the liver-selective thyromimetic T-0681 on lipoprotein metabolism and the development of atherosclerosis. Prolonged treatment with T-0681 increased the hepatic expression of both LDL receptor and scavenger receptor class B, type I without affecting cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity. Upregulation of hepatic lipoprotein receptors was accompanied by a marked decrease of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, reflected by a 60% reduction of plasma cholesterol and a >70% reduction of plasma triglyceride levels. Most importantly, T-0681 reduced the development of atherosclerosis by 80% in NZW rabbits on high-cholesterol chow. Our data suggest that liver-selective thyromimetics, such as T-0681, may prove to be useful therapeutic agents against the development of atherosclerosis in humans.
