Mononuclear cells begin to migrate into the subendothelial space at the early stage of atherogenesis. They take up denatured low density lipoprotein through scavenger receptors and become lipid-laden foam cells. Various cytokines and growth factors produced by macrophages can modulate the growth and many other functions of vascular cells in vitro. Those cytokines might be secreted in the arterial wall and play an important role in atherogenesis.}, pages = {31--36}, title = {Macrophage Products and Atherosclerosis}, volume = {38(Supplement)}, year = {1990} }
