medicine | macrophage-specific expression of enzyme in LDL receptor null mice leads to a significant reduction in the lesion ara and cholesterol content of high-fat, high-cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerotic lesions. Lesions do not show increase in free cholesterol, are less necrotic, and contain significantly higher numbers of viable macrophage foam cells. Higher enzyme-mediated free cholesterol efflux results in enhanced flux of free cholesterol from macrophages to gall bladder bile and feces in vivo | Homo sapiens |
