oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxidized LDL, oxLDL)

Function: 1) recognized & degraded by OLR1 2) recognized by C-type lectin domain of OLR1 3) may mediate response to fluid shear stress Pathology: 1) marker of atherosclerosis 2) induces vascular endothelial cell activation & dysfunction pro-inflammatory responses, pro-oxidative conditions & apoptosis 3) oxidized choline glycerophospholipids activate platelet CD36, promote platelet activation, impair endothelial function & increase foam cell concentration within atherosclerotic plaques [2] Laboratory: - LDL oxidized in serum/plasma - LDL oxidized Ab in serum
