2021-09-29
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Atherosclerosis involves the accumulation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL)-laden foam cells (FC) within the blood vessel intima. Macrophages are transformed to FCs by the uptake of OxLDL, a process mediated by scavenger receptors (SRs), which include MSR1, CD36 and CD68. Atherosclerosis differs in prevalence across ethnic groups, being less common in African than...
