abstract：:Oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) induces development of cardiovascular disease. Recently, reports of studies using atomic force microscopy (AFM) have described that the elastic modulus of metal-induced oxidized LDLs is lower than the modulus before oxidation. However, the mechanisms of change of the elasti...
