Abstract
A hierarchy of simple nucleation-polymerization models is proposed to describe liposome formation and growth. The cholesterol-fed rabbit intima data seem to result from the short-term nonuniform intimal history of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) supply, which is a consequence of the focal nature of the transarterial-endothelial LDL flow through isolated transient leaky junctions. An appropriate valve water/LDL transport model is combined with the nucleation/polymerization models to explain the data.
