Abstract excerpt
Blood monocytes are heterogeneous effector cells of the innate immune system. In circulation these cells are constantly in contact with lipid-rich lipoproteins, yet this interaction is poorly characterised. Our aim was to examine the functional effect of hyperlipidaemia on blood monocytes. In the Ldlr(-/-) mouse monocytes rapidly accumulate cytoplasmic neutral lipid vesicles during hyperlipidaemia. Functional...
