"To investigate the contribution of ACEIs to foam cell formation, we studied the effects of an ACEI, imidaprilat, on THP-1 macrophages and the underlying molecular mechanisms in vitro. Pre-treatment of THP-1 macrophages with imidaprilat (100 nmol/L, 4 hours) significantly decreased foam cell formation induced by oxidized LDL (OxLDL). Imidaprilat reduced the protein level of MMP-9 in THP-1 macrophages and...
