Molecular and mechanistic characterization of platelet-activating factor-like bioactivity produced upon LDL oxidation
Oxidation of LDL is thought to be involved in both initiating and sustaining atherogenesis through the formation of proinflammatory lipids and the covalent modification of LDL particles. Platelet-activating factor (PAF; 1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a potent phospholipid mediato...
