OBJECTIVE
Epidemiologic studies have suggested that dietary intake and plasma concentrations of antioxidants have an inverse relation with coronary heart disease. To test whether fat-soluble antioxidants can play a role against the occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI), we measured plasma levels
BACKGROUND
Gamma-tocopherol, the most abundant form of dietary vitamin E, may lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
METHODS
We investigated whether dietary and adipose tissue gamma-tocopherol are associated with myocardial infarction (MI) in 475 survivors of a first MI and 479 controls from a
Alpha-tocopherol and its derivatives have been shown to be effective in reducing cerebral ischemia-induced brain damage. However, the effects of other vitamin E isoforms have not been characterized. In the present study, we investigated the effects of six different isoforms of vitamin E on the
Background: Higher vitamin E intake has been widely related to lower risks of cognitive decline and dementia. Animal models suggest that this relationship might be (partially) explained by the protection of vitamin E against presynaptic
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the levels of adipose tissue alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, and toenail selenium and their determinants.
METHODS
Control subjects from multicentre case-control study on antioxidants, myocardial infarction and cancer of the breast.
METHODS
686 male and 339 female
BACKGROUND
Increased intake of carotenoids and vitamin E may protect against myocardial infarction (MI). However, prospective data on blood levels of carotenoids other than beta-carotene and vitamin E (tocopherol) and risk of MI are sparse.
RESULTS
We conducted a prospective, nested case-control
Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol or alphaT) has long been recognized as a classic free radical scavenging antioxidant whose deficiency impairs mammalian fertility. In actuality, alpha-tocopherol is one member of a class of phytochemicals that are distinguished by varying methylation of a chroman head
BACKGROUND
Neither macro- nor micronutrient supplements have been clearly demonstrated to reduce the risk of preterm birth. However, there has been little attention to carotenoids, tocopherols, and long-chain fatty acids other than n-3 polyunsaturates.
METHODS
We conducted a case-control study
Angiotensin II (ANG II), a product of renin-angiotensin system activation, enhances collagen synthesis, which is a key event in cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction. Inhibition of cardiac remodeling is now a target of multiple therapies, including 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A
Meat and meat products are essential components of diets in developed countries and despite the convincing evidence that relate them to an increased risk for CVD, a growing consumption of meat products is foreseen. Epidemiological studies show that regular consumption of nuts, in general, and
