Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Macrophages play a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. The objective of this observational study was to characterize the proteome of macrophages to identify proteins implicated in atherosclerosis. METHODS: The proteome of macrophage exposed to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was studied in a sample of 12 subjects with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia and analyzed according to...
