Antioxidants protect against increased risk of atherosclerosis induced by exposure to cigarette smoke: Histological and biochemical study.

This study aimed to assess the dose-dependent effect of antioxidants in protection against cardiovascular changes induced by exposure to cigarette smoke. ⋯ These results indicated that antioxidants ameliorated the cigarette smoke contribution to atherosclerosis, but they could not completely reverse the changes induced by cigarette smoke. Simultaneous intake of antioxidants could ameliorate the cigarette-smoke-induced changes apart from those of the heart.
