Prelesional Changes of Arterial Endothelium in Hyperlipoproteinemic Atherogenesis

  • Chapter
Endothelial Cell Biology in Health and Disease

Abstract

A crucial issue in atherosclerosis research has been to identify the earliest lesion and thus to determine the factors and mechanisms which initiate the disease process. The most widely recognized early alteration is the appearance of fatty streaks the hallmark of which is the accumulation of intracellular and extracellular cholesterol. Very little is known about the subtle cellular and molecular changes of the vessel wall that predispose and precede the inception of an atherosclerotic plaque.
