Summary
Monocytes and macrophages infiltrating the vessel wall play an important role in the formation and progression of atherosclerotic lesions. Macrophages have polarity and it has been shown to be associated with various pathological conditions. In this study, we will examine the relationship between polarity and intracellular metabolic changes in macrophages infiltrating actual atherosclerotic lesions, and aim to explore the significance of this relationship.
