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.
