abstract：:Angiotensin II (Ang II) and oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) are risk factors for atherosclerosis, and both of them contribute to macrophage cholesterol accumulation, the hallmark of early atherosclerosis. As Ang II was shown to increase macrophage uptake of Ox-LDL, we investigated the effect of losartan, an Ang II receptor anta...
