The neutrophil function and the effect of low-density lipoproteins isolated from the blood serum of healthy people on the mobility of these cells in atherosclerosis and chronic ischemic heart diease were studied in 63 patients, aged 40-55, with a history of chronic ischemic heart disease of up to 15 yr long. Defective neutrophil chemotaxis was observed in the patients. Low-density lipoproteins from the healthy people inhibited neutrophil mobility. Low-density lipoproteins immobilized neutrophil chemotaxis in the blood plasma of the ischemic heart disease patients.
