2. 1. Atherogenic lipoproteins and their interaction with proteoglycans

   Author : Christofer Flood; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : apolipoprotein B; atherosclerosis; LDL; proteoglycan; sPLA2; ; retention;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a multi-factorial disease and its pathogenesis is still unclear. However, accumulating evidence during recent years has led to the concept that subendothelial retention of atherogenic lipoproteins is the initiating event in atherogenesis. READ MORE

4. 2. Retention of atherogenic lipoproteins in atherogenesis

   Author : Maria Gustafsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : apolipoprotein B; atherosclerosis; LDL; LpL; proteoglycans; retention; sPLA2;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of death in the industrialized world. The diseaseis characterized by lipid accumulation and inflammation in the arterial wall, which may leadto obstruction of the blood flow. READ MORE
