The fundamental characteristic of atherosclerosis is when a cholesterol particle becomes trapped in the artery wall. Many factors make the lipoprotein particle more likely to become retained in the artery wall, such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance and smoking. CE = Cholesterol Ester. TG = Triglycerides.
