Ferryl Hemoglobin and Heme Induce A<sub>1</sub>-Microglobulin in Hemorrhaged Atherosclerotic Lesions with Inhibitory Function against Hemoglobin and Lipid Oxidation
Infiltration of red blood cells into atheromatous plaques and oxidation of hemoglobin (Hb) and lipoproteins are implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. α<sub>1</sub>-microglobulin (A1M) is a radical-scavenging and heme-binding protein. In this work, we examined the origin and...
