  • Rabbits treated in the same manner as in Example 3 were administered orally with 20 mg / day of acetylsalicylic acid from the week before endothelial injury as a drug administration group, and dabigatran was orally administered at 10 mg / kg / day from the time of endothelial injury. Administered.
  • FIG. 17 shows the change over time in the proportion of rabbits that survived without occlusion.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un animal modèle non humain obtenu par une étape destinée à léser une portion de l'enthothélium d'une artère d'un animal non humain qui a ingéré un aliment à haute teneur en cholestérol et une étape d'administration continue à l'animal non humain d'angiotensine II, l'animal développant une thrombose provoquée par l'érosion de plaque. La thrombose dans l'animal modèle non humain est occlusive, occluant l'espace intravasculaire. En outre, la thrombose dans l'animal modèle non humain présente un état pathologique dans lequel une thrombose plaquettaire et/ou un thrombus de fibrine se forme dans l'espace intravasculaire.
