95 individual human atherosclerotic lesions from 26 persons were classified into three
groups under the dissecting microscope: fatty streaks, fibrous plaques, and gruel …

To identify the temporal changes occurring during progression and regression of
atherosclerosis in nonhuman primates, we have studied the physicochemical and …

Steroid-based liquid crystal polymers and co-polymers have come a long way, with new and
significant advances being made every year. This paper reviews some of the recent key …

Recent studies have shown that in addition to being major constituents of the atheromatous
core, solid cholesterol crystals (CCs) promote atherosclerotic lesion development and …

The authors' laboratory, using histochemicalmethods, previously identified two types of
cholesterol-containing lipid particles in the extracellular spaces of human atherosclerotic …

The influence of lipid composition and physical state on the rate of cholesteryl ester
clearance from cytoplasmic inclusions has been investigated. Our findings demonstrate that …

Compositions of water and amphiphilic substances may form liquid crystalline structures,
which are characterized by a combination of long-range order and mobility at the molecular …

The fine structure of intracellular and extracellular lipids in the atherosclerotic aorta of
Watanabe-heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits was demonstrated by a quick-freeze …

Selectivity factors (Vm/Km) for human and rat lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferases (LCAT)
for the transfer of various acyl groups from the 2-position of phosphatidyl choline were …

The possible involvement of cholesteryl ester states in the development and persistence of
atherosclerosis and the transport and storage of cholesteryl esters has led to questions …
