Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (Abcg1) and apolipoprotein E (Apoe) play a role in macrophage cholesterol efflux and consequently the development of atherosclerosis. A possible interaction between Abcg1 and Apoe in cholesterol efflux was postulated, but the potential combined action of these proteins on atherosclerotic lesion formation is unclear. METHODS: LDL receptor knockout (KO) mice were...
