ABSTRACT

Genetic, clinical, and pharmacological studies implicate elevated levels of LDL in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular disease, the leading cause of death in industrialized societies (1). Paradoxically, native LDL fails to exert potentially atherogenic effects in vitro, suggesting that it must be modified to promote vascular disease. Indeed, many lines of evidence support the LDL oxidation hypothesis, which suggests that oxidative damage to LDL is one important mechanism for rendering lipoproteins atherogenic (as reviewed in Refs. 2, 3).
