Atherosclerotic vasculopathy is a multifactorial process causing vessels damage and
cardiovascular diseases, the leading causes of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic plaque is …

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) promotes atherosclerosis through a complex
interaction of inflammatory and immunologic factors that lead to macrophage lipid uptake …

Background Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) is believed to play an important role
in the progression of atherosclerosis. Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) …

Atherosclerotic lesions represent the principal cause of death in western industrialized
countries. Immune mechanisms have been suggested to play a key role in the development …

Abstract Background Certain immunoglobulins (Ig) are proposed to have protective
functions in atherosclerosis. Objectives We tested whether serum levels of IgG and IgM …

Lipidology Oxidized low density lipoprotein and innate immune receptors : Current Opinion …

Objective Experimental studies have suggested that autoimmunity is involved in
atherosclerosis and provided evidence that both protective and pro-atherogenic immune …

Atherosclerosis, the pathology underlying heart attacks, strokes and peripheral artery
disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease of the artery wall initiated by elevated low-density …

Increasing evidence indicates that immune processes modulate atherogenesis. Oxidized
LDL (Ox-LDL) is immunogenic, and autoantibodies recognizing epitopes of Ox-LDL have …

The role of the humoral immune response to oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) in
atherogenesis is unclear and available studies are contradictory. The aims of the present …
