High density lipoprotein can be modified in various amid acid sites through myeloperoxidase(MPO). ox-HDL can damage endothelia cells, lose the ability of reverse cholesterol transport, promote smooth muscle cell proliferation which will decrease HDL anti-atherosclerosis capacity. Therefore the association between HDL specific sites modification and function changes will provide a new method to prevent atherosclerosis.
