Accumulation of cholesterol suppresses oxidative phosphorylation and altered responses to inflammatory stimuli of macrophages

Hypercholesterolemia induces intracellular accumulation of cholesterol in macrophages and other immune cells, causing immunological dysfunctions. On cellular levels, cholesterol enrichment might lead to mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming and change macrophage functions. Additionally, as cholester...
