Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDLs) appear to play a significant role in
atherogenesis. In fact, circulating ox-LDL concentrations have been recognized as a risk …

More than 80 years after the discovery of the essentiality of vitamin E for mammals, the
molecular basis of its action is still an enigma. From the eight different forms of vitamin E …

Vitamin E deficiency increases expression of the CD36 scavenger receptor, suggesting
specific molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways modulated by α-tocopherol. We …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations appear to be associated with a wide spectrum of
human disorders and proposed to be a potential contributor of aging. However, in an age …

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the relationship between dietary patterns and
peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Our aim was to estimate the association between nutrient …

Oxidization of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles leads to formation of atherosclerotic
lesions and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) via a complex cascade of …

Vitamin E (VitE) is considered an antioxidant agent. One or more brief periods of ischemia
(isc), followed by short reperfusion (rep), increase the tolerance of the heart to a subsequent …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the dose-dependent effects of RRR-α-
tocopherol supplementation in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and healthy subjects …

Background. Oxidative stress, as induced in organ storage or upon reperfusion, may impact
the quality of the transplant. Vitamin E, a radical scavenger, may alleviate stress associated …

Prospective studies have demonstrated that an imbalance between oxidative damage and
antioxidative protection can play a role in the development and progression of …
