The present invention relates to animal models that expresses SR-BIΔCT knockin. The present invention further includes animal models that express SR-BIΔCT and also have reduced expression or activity of ApoE and/or LDLR, wherein the latter can be accomplished by use of a compound or genetic manipulation of the gene. The present invention relates to mouse models crossed with SR-BIΔCT knockin mice. Specifically, the present invention relates to SR-BIΔCT knockin mice crossed with apolipoprotein E (ApoE) knockout mice (SR-BIΔCT/apoE KO), a hypoE mouse (also referred to as ApoeR61
h/h
which expresses an impaired ApoE protein (SR-BIΔCT/ApoeR61
h/h
)), or a LDLR knockout mouse (SR-BIΔCT/LDLR KO). Screening methods and compounds using these mouse models are also encompassed.
