Modification of copper-catalyzed oxidation of low density lipoprotein by proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG) appear to contribute to retention of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in atherosclerotic lesions. In vitro, CSPG and glycosaminoglycans (GAG) modify LDL structure and increase its uptake by macrophages. This latter effect appears related to increased exposure o...
