Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), is a worldwide
cause of morbidity and mortality. Reducing ApoB-containing lipoproteins—chiefly, LDL (low …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), specifically lipid-driven atherosclerotic CVDs, remain the
number one cause of death worldwide. The lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) …

Abstract LOX-1, a lectin-like 52-kD receptor for oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL), is
present primarily on endothelial cells. This receptor is upregulated by ox-LDL itself and by …

Oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is implicated in the pathogenesis of
atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is the initial change in the vascular wall that induces …

Abstract LOX‐1 (lectin‐like oxidized low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐1; also known as
OLR1) is the dominant receptor that recognizes and internalizes oxidized low‐density …

Endothelial activation and dysfunction induced by oxidized modified low‐density lipoprotein
(ox‐LDL) is one of the key steps in the initiation of atherosclerosis. Recent studies have …

The lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) is the major receptor for
binding and uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in endothelial cells. LOX-1 is …

Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), one of the scavenger
receptors for oxidized low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ox-LDL), plays a crucial role in the …

Scavenger receptors are membrane glycoproteins that bind diverse ligands including lipid
particles, phospholipids, apoptotic cells and pathogens. LOX-1 (lectin-like oxidized low …

In healthy arteries, expression of lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-
1) is almost undetectable. However, in proatherogenic conditions, LOX-1 is markedly …
