Abstract: DOI:10.1097/MOL.0000000000000377 Atherosclerosis-related research has focused mainly on the role of endogenous and exogenous lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides, fattyacids, andtheirmodifications) on macrophage foam cell formation, the hallmark feature of early atherogenesis [1 & ,2 & ,3].

DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2017.00727
Abstract: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a lipid-driven disease in which macrophage foam cells play a critical role by increasing vascular lipid accumulation and contributing to plaque instability. Ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1), the most abundant active component of ginseng,… read more here.
