Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxidized LDL has been found within the subendothelial space, and it exhibits numerous atherogenic properties, including induction of inflammatory genes. We examined the possibility that variations in endothelial response to minimally modified LDL (MM-LDL) constitute one of the genetic components in atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: By a novel explant technique, endothelial cells (ECs) were...
