At least 468 individual genes have been manipulated by molecular methods to study their
effects on the initiation, promotion, and progression of atherosclerosis. Most clinicians and …

Many lines of evidence indicate that the key initiating event in early atherosclerosis is the
subendothelial retention of cholesterol‐rich, atherogenic lipoproteins. Once retained, these …

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the vessel wall characterized by monocyte
infiltration in response to pro‐atherogenic factors such as oxidized lipids. Recently, the role …

The ability of high density lipoproteins (HDL) to inhibit cytokine-induced adhesion molecule
expression has been demonstrated in their protective function against the development of …

Several studies during the last years have shown that, in addition to endothelial cells,
vascular smooth muscle cells also express the cellular adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and …

▪ Abstract The key initiating event in atherosclerosis is the retention of plasma lipoproteins in
the subendothelial matrix. Subsequently, a series of biological responses to this retained …

The normal endothelium is characterised by the production of a number of molecules which
affect the contractile state of adjacent myocytes and the behavior of formed elements within …
