Diabetes mellitus accelerating atherosclerosis was associated with the enhanced
glycoxidative modification of lipoproteins. LOX-1, the endothelial oxidized LDL receptor …

Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1/OLR1) has been suggested to
play a role in the progression of atherogenesis. We analyzed the OLR1 gene and found a …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and functions to amplify
vascular inflammation through promoting endothelial dysfunction. Lectin-like oxidized low …

Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1), a cell-surface receptor for oxidized LDL (Ox-
LDL), has been implicated in vascular cell dysfunction related to atherosclerotic plaque …

Background—Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) was originally identified as a
receptor expressed predominantly in endothelial cells. LOX-1 can also be expressed in …

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture followed by thrombus formation is a key event in the onset of
acute coronary syndrome. 1 Apoptotic death of smooth muscle cells in the fibrous cap of the …

Abstract Objectives: LOX-1, a lectin-like receptor on endothelial cells, facilitates the uptake of
oxidized-LDL. Expression of LOX-1 is involved in the pathobiological effects of oxidized-LDL …

Rupture of the cap covering the atherosclerotic plaque is thought to lead to platelet
deposition and formation of an occlusive thrombus resulting in cessation of blood flow …

A recently identified lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1) mediates
endothelial cell injury and facilitates inflammatory cell adhesion. We studied the role of LOX …

An elevated level of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol constitutes a major risk factor
for genesis of atherosclerosis. Ox-LDL plays a more important role in the genesis and …
