- _2 value "In atherogenesis, elevated plasma levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) lead to the chronic presence of LDL in the arterial wall. There, LDL is modified (eg, oxidized), and these modified lipoproteins activate endothelial cells, which attract circulating monocytes. These monocytes enter the vessel wall, differentiate into macrophages, and subject the modified lipoproteins to endocytosis through scavenger receptor pathways. This unrestricted uptake, which is not limited by intracellular cholesterol levels, eventually leads to the formation of lipid-filled foam cells, the initial step in atherosclerosis" provenance.
