In other studies, carried out in an in vivo model, the relationship between the expression of LOX-1 and arterial hypertension was studied, where it was shown that LOX-1 is overexpressed in the aorta and vein of hypertensive rats previously fed with a diet high in salt but not in the comparative rats, so it was suggested that LOX-1 had a possible role in the pathogenesis of hypertension in the said animal model [36,37,38,39]. This evidence concerns the gene OLR1 and Hypertension.
