LOX-1 ligands containing apolipoprotein B (LAB) reflect ligand activity of LOX-1, which is a key molecule for initiation of atherosclerosis. The Zucker rat is a well-known model used for research on obesity and diabetes. Blood levels of LAB were compared among Zucker fatty (ZF), Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and Zucker lean (ZL) rats. Log-transformed LAB was significantly higher in ZF and ZDF rats than in control ZL rats, while no significant difference was found in log-transformed LAB of ZF and ZDF rats. This study for the first time demonstrated that circulating LOX-1 ligands were elevated in obesity and diabetes model rats.
含载脂蛋白B的凝集素样氧化低密度脂蛋白受体-1配体(LAB)反映了凝集素样氧化低密度脂蛋白受体-1(LOX-1)的配体活性,而LOX-1是动脉粥样硬化起始的关键分子。Zucker大鼠是用于肥胖症和糖尿病研究的著名模型。比较了Zucker肥胖(ZF)大鼠、Zucker糖尿病肥胖(ZDF)大鼠和Zucker瘦(ZL)大鼠的LAB血液水平。经对数转换的LAB在ZF和ZDF大鼠中显著高于对照ZL大鼠,而ZF和ZDF大鼠经对数转换的LAB之间未发现显著差异。本研究首次证明肥胖和糖尿病模型大鼠的循环LOX-1配体升高。
