Abstract excerpt
The appearance of lipid-laden macrophages is a characteristic feature in the development of the atherosclerotic plaque. The functional status of macrophages located within the intima of atherosclerotic lesions is as yet unknown; nevertheless, macrophages are known to be exceedingly responsive to their environment and can differentiate to different functional states. The objective of this study was to determine...
