Aging and Hypercholesterolemia Differentially Affect the Unfolded Protein Response in the Vasculature of <italic toggle="no">ApoE</italic><sup>−/−</sup> Mice
Background Persistent activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) induces vascular cell apoptosis, contributing to atherogenesis. Aging and hypercholesterolemia are 2 independent proatherogenic factors. How they affect vascular UPR signaling remains unclear. Me...
