Lysophosphatidylcholine and carotid intima-media thickness in young smokers: a role for oxidized LDL-induced expression of PBMC lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2?

Lysophosphatidylcholine and carotid intima-media thickness in young smokers: a role for oxidized LDL-induced expression of PBMC lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2?

<h4>Background</h4>Although cigarette smoking has been associated with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) the mechanisms are yet not completely known. Lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC), a main product of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity, appears to be a major...
