Both glucocorticoids and cyclosporine are used to prevent rejection in organ transplant recipients. However, long-term treatment with these drugs is known to induce hyperlipidemia and premature development of atherosclerosis. In previous studies, we have shown that the immunosuppressive drug cyclosp
It has been proposed that low density lipoprotein (LDL) must undergo oxidative modification before it can participate in atherosclerosis. The present paper studied the effect of cholesterol oxidation in LDL on cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. LDL was oxidized by cholesterol oxidase (3-beta-hyd
