oxidated LDL?

[Johan]

I se this all the time. Studies concerning LDL oxidation.

But is LDL more dangerous after it has been oxidated or is it destroyed completely when oxidated?

I think the term you're looking for is oxidized.

Oxidation is the loss of an electron from the molecule. This does not necessarily destroy it, but may make it a more reactive species.

yeah I wasnt sure if it was oxidated or oxidized thansk for clearing it upp

so oxidized LDL is more harmfull then regular LDL? Anything that prevents LDL oxidation is positive
