DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.901408
Abstract: Background Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV, the third most abundant apolipoprotein in human high density lipoproteins (HDLs), inhibits intestinal and systemic inflammation. This study asks if apoA-IV also inhibits acute vascular inflammation. Methods Inflammation was induced in… read more here.
