ABCA1 and Hyperglycemia: Furthermore, the mRNA levels of both the scavenger receptors, Lox-1 and CD36, and the mediators of cholesterol efflux, ABCA1 and ABCG1, were significantly correlated with foam cell formation (Lox-1, r = 0.806; CD36, r = 0.675; ABCA1, r = −0.798; and ABCG1, r = −0.724; Figure 3(a)) and HbA1c levels (Lox-1, r = 0.597; CD36, r = 0.483; ABCA1, r = −0544; and ABCG1, r = −0.524; Figure 3(b)), indicating a strong association with the suppression of macrophage foam cell formation and controlling hyperglycemia.
