The concept that altered lipoproteins, particularly low-density lipoproteins (LDL), contribute to the initiation or propagation of the atherosclerotic reaction has emerged as a consequence of recent advances in our understanding of the metabolism of cholesteryl ester-rich lipoproteins. In vitro studies have implicated lipoprotein alteration as a prerequisite to producing the massive deposition of cholesteryl esters within the foam cells of the atherosclerotic lesion.’Altered lipoproteins producing this effect include LDL altered by chemical or cellular modification or complexed with other molecules, as well as# I-migrating very low-density lipoproteins@ VLDL).’The scientific interest aroused by these investigations is best understood in the context of the temporal and biochemical events associated with the development of the atherosclerotic lesion. There is now substantial evidence that blood monocytes play an early role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and are progenitors of many of the foam cells of the arterial lesion. 2-11 Recent morphologic studies4-6, g* lo have systematically documented the sequential cellular events occurring in lesions during the development of atherosclerosis induced by chronic, diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in
