Intraperitoneal Injection Improves the Uptake of Nanoparticle-Labeled High-Density Lipoprotein to Atherosclerotic Plaques Compared With Intravenous Injection

Abstract

In vivo MRI and ex vivo multimodal imaging of atherosclerotic plaque using NP-HDL is feasible, and intraperitoneal application improves the uptake within vessel wall lesions compared with intravenous injection.
