Role of oxidized low density lipoprotein in calcium homeostasis in vascular smooth muscle cells

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is an important risk factor for atherosclerotic disease. LDL may be oxidized (oxLDL) by free radicals in a lipid and an aqueous environment. OxLDL plays an important role in atherosclerosis, possibly by altering Ca2+ within vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Acute e...
