Uptake and degradation of low density lipoproteins in atherosclerotic rabbit aorta: role of local LDL modification.
The uptake of native and modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) in foam cells in atherosclerotic tissue was studied in an in vitro perfusion system for rabbit aorta. Experimental atherosclerosis was induced in rabbits by a combination of cholesterol feeding and mechanical injury. The aorta was perfu...
