Abstract | RATIONALE: OBJECTIVE: We studied the effect of lipid-lowering therapy on LDL permeability and degradation of LDL particles in atherosclerotic aortas of mice by measuring the accumulation of iodinated LDL particles in the arterial wall. METHODS AND RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: Improved endothelial barrier function toward the entry of plasma LDL particles and diminished aortic degradation of the newly entered LDL particles precede plaque regression.
