In line with the reduced levels of oxLDL in T2D, sLOX-1 levels were lower in plaques from patients with T2D compared to plaques from patients without diabetes (620132 (467635–750793) vs 715188 (556317–884383) au/gram wet weight plaque, p = 0.006, Fig. 2d). Here, OLR1 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
