Abstract
Oxidation of plasma lipoproteins may play an important role in atherog enesis, but there are also indications that that this process of oxida tion may influence other facets of cardiovascular disease, namely bloo d flow and thrombosis. The evidence that oxidation of low-density lipo proteins may modulate the action of the native lipoproteins with respe ct to endothelium-dependent relaxation, platelet activation and tissue factor activity is reviewed.
