Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a long-standing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Its occurrence and development are related to the pathophysiology of lipids including cholesteryl ester (CE), cholesterol, triacylglycerol (TG), and phospholipid (PL). In this review, we focus on the roles and possible mechanisms of different lipid subcomponents in the process of AS, and provide new ideas for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of AS.
