We assessed the effect of glucose and insulin on human monocytes. Monocytes were
isolated from 16 healthy obese and 10 lean healthy participants. Insulin sensitivity was …

Objective This study aimed to examine whether oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)
facilitates platelet aggregation, which is one cause for development of cardiovascular …

Aim To study the effects of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL) on the adhesiveness
of monocytes to endothelial cells. Methods LDL was obtained from healthy human plasma …

Oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) lipoproteins are proposed as important modified particles triggering
pro-inflammatory events through receptor-mediated pathways. We evaluated the circulating …

Background: Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the vessel wall is
characterized by local and systemic immune responses to a variety of antigens. Oxidized …

The immediate effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) on the metabolic activity
of cultured macrophages (RAW 264.7) were studied using a microphysiometer …

The human monocyte cell line U937 was differentiated into an adherent macrophage
phenotype using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to assay the phagocytosis of …

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, due to its role in
endothelial dysfunction and foam cell formation. Tissue-resident cells such as macrophages …

Iron ions were recently shown to induce cellular lipid peroxidation in macrophages, and
these oxidized cells can convert native low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidized LDL (Ox …

The effect of low density lipoprotein (LDL) on the pinocytic activity in human endothelial cells
in culture, as measured by the uptake of [14 C] sucrose, was studied. The cells were …
