Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apo E) mediates both lipid accumulation by and removal from cells and may be secreted by both macrophages and smooth muscle cells in vitro, but its cellular source in atherosclerotic plaques is not known. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) also enhances cell lipid accumulation and is synthesized by macrophage foam cells in atherosclerotic plaques. To determine the cellular source of apo E in human...
