Abstract

A crucial and causative role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is believed to be the oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL). The oxidation of LDL involves released free radical driven lipid peroxidation. Several lines of evidence support the role of oxidized LDL in atherogenesis. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated an association between an increased intake of dietary antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E and vitamin C and reduced morbidity and mortality from coronary artery diseases. It is thus hypothesized that dietary antioxidants may help prevent the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The oxidation of LDL has been shown to be reduced by antioxidants, and, in animal models, improved antioxidants may offer possibilities for the prevention of atherosclerosis. The results of several on going long randomized intervention trials will provide valuahle information on the efficacy and safety of improved antioxidants in the prevention of atherosclerosis. This review a evaluates current literature involving antioxidants and vascular disease, with a particular focus on the potential mechanisms.
