Effects of cytokines on the production of lipoprotein lipase in cultured human macrophages.
Macrophages are important cells in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis because of their tendency to accumulate lipid and become transformed into foam cells. Cultured human monocyte-derived macrophages spontaneously secrete lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and LPL has been linked to increased lipid uptake b...
