[Lipids and lipoproteins in early changes of arteriosclerosis].
LDL, fibrinogen and other plasma macromolecules are retained in intima in substantial amounts. In areas where lipid is accumulating a large part of LDL is immobilized possibily by binding to fibrin. Lipid may be deposited from LDL as a result of degradation by a cathepsin in intima.
