There is evidence that fatty streaks in arteries can transform into atherosclerotic plaques.
Mononuclear cells, including both monocytes and lymphocytes, are among the first cells
participating in the development of atherosclerosis of experimental animals. To investigate
the celes of different cell types in human atherosclerosis, we enumerated and compared the
cellular compositions of normal intima, the transition zone (the area between the normal
intima and the core of fatty streaks), fatty streaks, and plaques in young (age 16–30 years) …
