LDL Particle
Circulating oxLDL is a marker of cardiovascular disease
Holvoet et al. (1998)
Oxidized LDL may promote atherosclerosis
• oxLDL activates vascular endothelial cells• oxLDL is proinflammatory• oxLDL stimulates differentiation/migration of
vascular smooth muscle
• Blockade of oxLDL receptors can reduce atherosclerosis
Methods
• Examined traditional (IL-6, CRP) and novel (oxLDL and its receptor LOX-1) plasma biomarkers in a large community of the Navajo Nation
• Samples and data were obtained through a culturally appropriate community-based participatory approach
• Samples analyzed with enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) kits
• Biomarker and self-report data were then linked to geospatial data on contamination sites.

Trends between oxLDL, LOX-1 and age
Preliminary Regression Model Results for Predictors of oxLDL
Interim Results and Conclusions
• Proximity to abandoned uranium mines was not a significant predictor of oxLDL or LOX-1.
• Estimated annual intake of arsenic was a significant predictor of ox-LDL, and therefore of ox-LDL itself– Age, occupational mining exposure, and the distance of
home from the legacy waste exposure are also significant predictors.
• These results indicate that arsenic intake may increase markers of cardiovascular risk.
