α-Tocopherol decreases CD36 expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages
Cholesterol-laden macrophages are the hallmark of atherogenesis. The class B scavenger receptor, CD36, binds oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL), is found in atherosclerotic lesions, and is upregulated by OxLDL. We tested the effects of α-tocopherol (AT) enrichment of human monocyte-derived mac...
