Abstract:Background
Indication for prophylactic surgical abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair depends on the maximal aortic diameter. The lectin‐like oxidized low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐1 (LOX‐1) is the major receptor for uptake of oxidized low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and is implicated in atherosclerosis. A soluble form of LOX‐1 (sLOX‐1) has been discussed as a novel biomarker in coronary artery disease and stroke. Herein, we assessed the regulation of aortic LOX‐1 as well as the diagnostic … Show more
