• Emerging risk factors for atherosclerotic vascular disease: a critical review of the evidence. (2003, background): “where it may promote low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol uptake by macrophages, a key step in atherogenesis.(37) C-reactive protein may also induce the expression of intercellular adhesion molecules by endothelial cells,(38) thereby facilitating the recruitment of circulating monocytes to plaq”
• C-reactive protein: a critical update. (2003, background): “Addition of CRP to LDL in cell culture systems has been reported to stimulate formation of foam cells, which are a typical feature of atherosclerotic plaques (50).”
