Abstract

There is accumulating evidence that oxidatively modified low-density lipoproteins have a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein to oxidative stress depends on the balance between its content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, in particular vitamin E. Both these nutrients are derived entirely from dietary sources.
