Oxidized low density lipoprotein induces apoptosis via generation of reactive oxygen species in vascular smooth muscle cells

Death of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) induced by oxidized LDL (oxLDL) can occur by both necrosis and apoptosis which may contribute to plaque instability and rupture. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induces apoptosis in VSMC and is involved in oxLDL action, we tested the hypothesis here that a c...
