  • Title: The arterial wall and the atherosclerotic lesion.
    Author: Guyton JR.
    Journal: Curr Opin Lipidol; 1994 Oct; 5(5):376-81. PubMed ID: 7858913.
    Abstract:
    The role of the lipid-rich core region in atherogenesis is beginning to be understood, from its inception in early lesions to its catastrophic effects in promoting plaque rupture in late lesions. Besides the lipid-rich core, recent studies on human and animal atherosclerosis have drawn attention to atherogenic lipoproteins larger than LDL, unesterified cholesterol in lesions, apolipoprotein E as an antiatherogenic factor, macrophages as atherogenic effector cells, and unexpectedly slow rates of smooth muscle cell proliferation.
