- Abstract
This review summarises the data from long-term experimental studies and literature data on the role of oxidatively modified low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in atherogenesis and diabetogenesis. It was shown that not “oxidized” (lipoperoxide-containing) LDL, but dicarbonylmodified LDL are atherogenic (actively captured by cultured macrophages with the help of scavenger receptors), and also cause expression of lectin like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LOX-1) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 1 (NOX-1) genes in endotheliocytes, which stimulate apoptosis and endothelial dysfunction. The obtained data allowed us to justify new approaches to pharmacotherapy of atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
