Background:

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the carrier protein for cholesterol in the blood. LDL binds to its receptor on the capillary walls and thereby mediates the uptake and clearence of cholesterol from the circulation. In atherosclerotic lesions oxidatively modified LDL is found and oxidized LDL is specifically recognized and ingested by macrophages via scavenger receptor A and CD36. Oxidized LDL may be a marker of atherosclerosis but the precise changes in oxidized LDL are not well described. Low-density lipoprotein oxidised with Cu2SO4.

Also known as:

ox-LDL: LDL (Copper oxidized); Cu2SO4 oxidized low density lipoprotein; oxidized low density lipoprotein; Low density lipoprotein; MDA oxidized LDL; MDA oxidized low density lipoprotein.
