Relative importance of the LDL receptor and scavenger receptor class B in the β-VLDL-induced uptake and accumulation of cholesteryl esters by peritoneal macrophages
We investigated the mechanism of β-very low density lipoprotein (β-VLDL)-induced foam cell formation derived from peritoneal macrophages from control mice and low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient mice to elucidate the role of the LDL receptor in this process. The LDL receptor appeared to...
