摘要: Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is the major carrier of cholesterol and its esters in human blood plasma. Free radical-peroxidation LDL may play a crucial role development atherosclerosis, much effort has been devoted to study oxidation prevention over last decade [1, 2]. Peroxidation LDL’s lipids affords hydroperoxides principally from cholesteryl linoleate (Ch18:2), predominant lipid component core [3]. Hydroperoxide formation generally thought precede result modification apoprotein B-100, single protein associated with LDL. Once modified, taken up by scavenger receptors monocyte-derived macrophages. Internalization this manner uncontrolled, leads intracellular accumulation appearance lipid-laden foam cells similar those found early atherosclerotic lesions.
