Progress in function of HDL-eNOS signaling pathway in cardiovascular system and it' s influencing factors / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

High-density lipoprotein ( HDL) is negatively related to the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis .Recent studies have shown that HDL activates a variety of target cells , such as vascular endothelial cells and macrophages , and activates the related cell signaling pathway to exert an anti-atherosclerosis role .HDL is a complex substance which composes of multiple particles .The changes of many factors affect the characteristics and functions of HDL, and then affect the activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase ( eNOS) .This paper summarizes the recent correla-tion studies, and expounds the related factors that affect the HDL-eNOS signaling pathway .
