Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein (Ox-LDL)

Target
Ox-LDL
Molecular classification
Lipoprotein, Modified protein
01

Overview

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) refers to LDL particles that have undergone oxidative modification, primarily through the action of free radicals. This process alters both the lipid and protein components of LDL, resulting in a particle with pro-atherogenic properties. Ox-LDL is strongly associated with the development and progression of atherosclerosis, contributing to plaque formation in arterial walls by promoting inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and foam cell formation.
