[Complexes of apo-B-containing lipoproteins and glycosaminoglycans with a density greater than 1.063 gML in the human aorta].

Interaction of lipoproteins of very low and low density with glycosaminoglycans was studied in vitro. Using analytical and preparative ultracentrifugation the complexes formed were shown to possess a density above 1.063 g/ml. Similar complexes were identified in extracts of human aorta. The formation of the complexes was stimulated in atherosclerotic impairments of aorta.
