APOB and atherosclerosis: In short, the arteries that experience disturbed laminar flow, high stress, and injury are predisposed to the development of atherosclerosis due to the accumulation of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins (apoB-LPs) at high-risk sites, as well as the adherence of platelets, macrophage chemotaxis, foam cell formation, and smooth muscle alterations [69,70,71].
