Abstract excerpt
The oxidized low-density lipoprotein (lectin-like) receptor 1 (OLR1) gene plays an important role in the degradation of the oxidized low-density lipoprotein, which causes damage to the arterial endothelium. Previous studies have shown that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of OLR1 was associated with milk production and health traits in dairy cattle and with loin eye area...
