Macrophage oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein occurs independently of its binding to the low density lipoprotein receptor

The oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) by arterial wall cells is thought to contribute to atherogenesis. Monocyte/macrophages, among other arterial wall cells, oxidatively modify LDL to a form that is recognized by scavenger/oxidized LDL receptors. It has recently been suggeste...
