[Is the regression of atherosclerosis only possible by lowering LDL levels and is this sufficient to reduce the tendency of these lipoproteins to oxidative modification?]
Journal Title: Kardiologia Polska - Year 2011, Vol 69, Issue 8
Abstract
The process of atherogenesis can be conditioned by the imbalance between the tendency to oxidative modification of the lipoproteins containing apoprotein B100 and antioxidant plasma properties. The paper discusses the situations leading to disruption of oxidative homeostasis on the basis of available data. Kardiol Pol 2011; 69, 8: 834-837.
