Using isoenzymes of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) as cellular markers, a study was made of atherosclerotic fibrous plaques and fatty streaks in aortas of black women heterozygous for G-6-PD. Of 29 fibrous plaques, 26 (89.7%) contained only one isoenzyme (17, A; 9, B), the other three containing both A and B. Of 28 fatty streaks, five (17.8%) contained only one isoenzyme (2, A; 3, B), the remaining 23 containing both A and B. Normal uninvolved aorta contained both A and B isoenzymes in 99 of 101 samples. These results confirm the monoclonal character of atherosclerotic fibrous plaques; this strands in contrast to the fatty streaks which most commonly contain the two isoenzymes. The studies on the fatty streaks are inconclusive at this stage in determining whether the streak is the forerunner of the fibrous plaque.
