Oxidized LDL (OxLDL) is a form of LDL cholesterol that has been damaged by oxidation. LDL cholesterol is considered the "bad" cholesterol because it contributes to plaque buildup in arteries. The structure of OxLDL differs from native LDL in that the apolipoprotein B-100 (protein component) becomes oxidized, as do the phospholipids and cholesterol esters.
