Antiatherogenic activity of PCO-rHDL or SCWA-rHDL under presence of oxLDL. Uptake of oxLDL into macrophages was visualized by oil red O staining. Photo A, blank control; photo B, oxLDL alone; photo C, oxLDL + rHDL; photo D, oxLDL + SCWA-rHDL (1:1); photo E, oxLDL + SCWA-rHDL (1:5); photo F, oxLDL + PCO-rHDL (1:1); photo G, oxLDL + PCO-rHDL (1:5).
