Oxidation of LDL contributes to plaque formation in the development of atherosclerosis.
- The "bad cholesterol" transporter LDL is clinically linked to atherosclerosis and high LDL levels.
- Chylomicrons, LDL, and VLDL levels that are higher are linked to atherosclerosis.
- Your blood vessels become clogged with plaque as a result of high cholesterol.
- Atherosclerosis is the medical term for this plaque buildup. Atherosclerosis increases the likelihood of developing a wide range of illnesses.
- LDL-loaded macrophages grow into foam cells, which encourage inflammation and accelerate atherosclerotic plaque development.
- The plaques can become unstable and restrict the artery. A ruptured plaque can trigger blood clotting, obstruct blood flow to the brain or heart, and cause a heart attack or stroke.
