1 In contrast, myeloperoxidase and hypochlorite, a product of myeloperoxidase, were able to oxidize heparin-bound LDL, and this oxidation led to the release of the oxidized particles from heparin. Hypochlorous Acid myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
2 Because human atherosclerotic lesions contain catalytically active myeloperoxidase and (lipo)proteins modified by hypochlorite, the results suggest that myeloperoxidase-secreting monocytes/macrophages in the arterial intima can oxidize and extract LDL from the extracellular matrix with ensuing uptake by the macrophages of the oxidized and released LDL, with eventual formation of foam cells.
