Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Enhanced plasma level of lipid peroxidation in Iranians could be improved by antioxidants supplementation.
To study the influence of supplementation with antioxidants on factors, which might increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Iranians. ⋯ This study shows that high plasma MDA level of Iranians can be decreased by beta-carotene supplementation with or without alpha-tocopherol. However, alpha-tocopherol is a more powerful antioxidant, which can increase the resistance of LDL to oxidation, reduce the MDA concentrations in plasma and increase autoantibodies to oLDL.
