LOX-1 regulation of H-type vascular endothelial cell regeneration in hyperglycemia.

Aims: Diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) is the most common secondary form of osteoporosis. Diabetes mellitus affects bone metabolism; however, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) expression is upregulated in conditions characterized by vascular injury, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes.
