High-density lipoprotein binding to scavenger receptor-BI activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase
Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, and the risk for atherosclerosis is inversely proportional to circulating levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. However, the mechanisms by which HDL is atheroprotective are complex and not well understood. Here we show that HDL stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in cultured endothelial cells. In contrast, eNOS is not activated by purified forms of...
