Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 increases in atherosclerotic mice: potential role of oxidized low density lipoproteins

Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 increases in atherosclerotic mice: potential role of oxidized low density lipoproteins

The aim of our study was to analyze the relationships between atherosclerosis and endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1). Four-week-old C57BL/6J [wild-type (WT)] and apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE) mice were fed with a standard or Western-type fat diet for 8 wks. ApoE showed atherosclerotic lesion...
