Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these factors have been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Excess LDL can deposit in arterial walls and stimulate inflammation. Inflammation can cause damage to the arterial walls, leading to the recruitment of monocytes and the expression of adhesion molecules that facilitate the entry of monocytes into the arterial wall. Monocytes can differentiate into macrophages, which accumulate more LDL and become foam cells, further contributing to the development of atherosclerotic plaques.
