Meanings of human atheroma in English

Multiple distinct products of MPO are enriched in human atherosclerotic lesions and LDL recovered from human atheroma.

The macrophage-rich core of advanced human atheroma has been demonstrated to be hypoxic, which may have implications in plaque stability.

To our knowledge, the present results provide the first direct evidence for apoA-I as a selective target for MPO-catalyzed oxidative modification in human atheroma.
