In a study by Markstad et al. [36], the authors indicated that ox-LDL leads to the release of sLOX-1 from endothelial cells and that circulating levels of sLOX-1 are associated with the risk of ischemic stroke, whereas Wang et al. [37] showed that elevated levels of ox-LDL were associated with the high risk of mortality and poor functional outcome within one year after stroke onset. This evidence concerns the gene OLR1 and Stroke.
