PLA2G7 and cardiovascular disorder: Taking into account the mechanisms described, Lp-PLA2 could influence the cardiometabolic risk; the Figure 3 expresses the two main possibilities for action of the enzyme in cardiovascular disease context; the antioxidant action, where these hydrolysis reduce the oxidized phospholipids in plasma and the oxLDL contributing to generation of LDL(-); the inflammatory action, where the hydrolysis of PAF, PAF-like products or oxidized phospholipids generate lysophospholipids that stimulate inflammation, so the atherogenic process is stimulated.
