Abstract

Atherosclerosis Cholesterol Coronary arteries Quantitative histochemistry Triglycerides
Quantitative histochemical estimation of multiple layers of 6 human coronary arteries shows that the triglycerides in coronary atherosclerosis are mainly derived from contaminating adventitial adipose tissue. Only between 4.6 and 24.1 % of the neutral lipids in atherosclerotic intima are triglycerides; sterols and their esters constitute the remainder.
