Potential role of Lu/BCAM in HIV-related atherosclerosis. AfrIcan Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 8(1): a792. [https://doi.org/10.4102/ajlm. v8i1.792] | Journal: | African Journal of Laboratory Medicine | Abstract: | Atheromatous lesions are formed by macrophages and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol invading the vascular intima. Here we show that increasing cholesterol levels are associated with peripheral monocyte depletion and this imbalance is aggravated by carriage of Lu/BCAM leukocyte adhesion molecules. This is true only in HIV infection and probably explains the risk of atherosclerosis observed in HIV-positive patients. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/11189/8377 | ISSN: | 2225-2010 2225-2002 |
