Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Formation (OxLDL Formation)

Target
OxLDL Formation
Molecular classification
Lipoprotein modification, Oxidation product
01

Overview

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) formation refers to the oxidative modification of native LDL particles, a process that occurs primarily under conditions of oxidative stress. This involves both lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation within the LDL particle, resulting in complex products with altered biological properties. OxLDL plays a central role in the development of atherosclerosis by promoting foam cell formation, endothelial dysfunction, and inflammation.
