Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated an association betweenincreased intake of antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin E andvitamin C and reduced morbidity and mortality from coronaryartery disease. This association has been explained on the basisof the "oxidative-modification hypothesis" of atherosclerosis,which proposes that atherogenesis is initiated by oxidationof the lipids in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), also termedlipid peroxidation. As a corollary to this hypothesis, antioxidantsthat inhibit lipid peroxidation in LDL should limit atherosclerosisand its clinical manifestations, such as myocardial infarctionand stroke. In this review, we will evaluate the current literatureinvolving antioxidants and vascular . . . [Full Text of this Article]
