Eosinophils were recruited to the lesions after aggregating with platelets, thereby enhancing lesion platelet accumulation and arterial thrombosis.19 In contrast, transplantation of bone-marrow from ΔdblGATA mice did not affect atherogenesis in low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (Ldlr−/−) mice.20 Thus, the role of eosinophils in atherosclerosis remains uncertain. Here, LDLR is linked to atherosclerosis.
