Abstract
Our results indicate that EL and EL-generated LPC, except of LPC 18:2, promote endothelial IL-8 synthesis, with different efficacy and kinetics, related to acyl-chain length and degree of saturation. Accordingly, due to its capacity to modulate the availability of the pro-inflammatory and pro-adhesive chemokine IL-8, EL should be considered an important player in the development of atherosclerosis.
