Metabolic activity of cholesteryl esters in aortic smooth muscle cells is altered by prostaglandins I2 and E2.
Among the biochemical processes associated with the atherogenic process are increased aortic cholesteryl ester (CE) accumulation and altered prostaglandin (PG) production. The precise physiological role of PG, particularly prostacyclin (PGI2), in the control of CE metabolism in intact aortic smooth...
