Abstract: Objective: To investigate the level of TAFI and its mechanism on atherosclerosis. Methods: Forty healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10): the control group, the high lipid group, the high lipid + Vitamin D overload group, and the endothelium injury group. Then the content of TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C and the activity of TAFI were determined by a chromogenic assay. Results: Atherosclerosis was successfully established. Hyperlipoidemia stage, fiber hyperplasy arteriosclerosis stage and maturatly plaque stage were also successfully duplicated. TC, TG, LDL-C and the activity of TAFI in the plasma of the three model groups gradually increased compared with the control group (P<0.01). However, HDL-C in the plasma of the three model groups gradually decreased compared with the control group(P<0.01 or P<0.05). The activity of TAFI in the plasma positively related to TG and TC. Conclusion: The activity of TAFI in the plasma is closely correlated with atherosclerosis severity.
