Macrophage ATP citrate lyase deficiency stabilizes atherosclerotic plaques

Inhibition of the metabolic enzyme ATP-citrate lyase can attenuate atherosclerosis by preventing dyslipidemia and potentially also by reducing macrophage-mediated inflammation. Here, the authors show that specific targeting of ACLY in macrophages results in more stable atherosclerotic plaques.
