Abstract
The pathogenesis for atherosclerosis is still unclear, and several hypotheses have been articulated to explain the initiating events in atherogenesis. Although these hypotheses are by no means mutually exclusive, there is a growing body of recent evidence that has led to the concept that subendothelial retention of apolipoprotein B100-containing lipoproteins is the initiating event in atherogenesis. Subsequently, a series of biological responses to this retained material leads to specific molecular and cellular processes that promote lesion formation. The present review assesses some of the studies that support this concept.Keywords
