Because the mass of cholesterol in LDL particles varies, LDL-C levels will result in overestimation apoB levels and the number of LDL particles, when LDL particles are cholesterol-enriched (Figure 8) and underestimate apoB and LDL particle number when the particles are cholesterol depleted (Figure 8) (468)
In macrophages exposed to OxLDL, GHRP-2 is hypothesized to reduce lipid accumulation, further illustrating its potential antioxidative and protective roles against proatherogenic agents
