Exposure to oxLDL impairs TGF-β activity in human tendon cells
2022-11-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Hypercholesterolemia is a known risk factor for the development of acute or chronic tendon injuries, but the mechanisms which link cholesterol and tendon pathology are not completely known. Previous studies have shown that patients with hypercholesterolemia experience elevated levels of oxidized LDL (oxLDL), a molecule which triggers inflammation and collagenase activity. In this study we dis...
