Abstract EN
Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) is a useful marker for cardiovascular disease.
The uptake of OxLDL by scavenger receptors leads to the accumulation of cholesterol within the foam cells of atherosclerotic lesions.
OxLDL has many stimulatory effects on vascular cells, and the presence of OxLDL in circulating blood has been established.
According to the classical hypothesis, OxLDL accumulates in the atherosclerotic lesions over a long duration, leading to advanced lesions.
However, recent studies on time-course changes of OxLDL in vivo raised a possibility that OxLDL can be transferred between the lesions and the circulation.
In this paper, the in vivo dynamics of OxLDL are discussed.
