Hypochlorite produced in vivo by activated neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages modifies blood lipoproteins and intensifies free radical lipid peroxidation, which probably plays a key role in the early stages of atherosclerotic vascular damages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
