OLR1 - Clinical Significance

Clinical Significance

Mutations of the OLR1 gene have been associated with atherosclerosis, risk of myocardial infarction, and may modify the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Berberine inhibits ORL1 (LOX-1)with the improvement in hemoglobin A1c and AGEs in diabetics. Berberine hence protects against endothelial injury and enhances the endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, which is mediated in part through activation of the AMPK signaling cascade.
