COVER: Left panel: HDL from healthy subjects exerts direct endothelial, potentially anti-atherogenic
effects, i.e., stimulation of anti-infl ammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic,
and anti-thrombotic mechanisms. In contrast, HDL from patients with coronary disease
(right panel) may lose potential endothelial anti-atherosclerotic properties, which
has been termed ‘HDL dysfunction'. (See Riwanto and Landmesser, p. 3227.)...Show more
