Components of the protein fraction of oxidized low density lipoprotein stimulate interleukin-1 alpha production by rabbit arterial macrophage-derived foam cells.

Oxidized low density lipoproteins (oxLDL) (0.5-50 micrograms/ml) generated from both rabbit and human LDL stimulated the production of interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) by as much as 2- and 6-fold, respectively, as compared to native LDL after a 2-h incubation with macrophage-derived foam cells isola...
