The effect of large unilamellar vesicles on vascular function in patients with coronary atherosclerosis
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) infusion on endothelial function. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) lowering, particularly with statins, results in rapid attenuation of endothelial dysfunction and decreases cardiovascular events. Unique methods of removing cholesterol from the vessel wall are being developed. The effect of LUVs on endothelial function has not been evaluated in humans.
METHOD: 75 subjects (mean …
