The interaction of cigarette smoking and antioxidants. Part 2: alpha-tocopherol.

چکیده
It is logical that the requirement for antioxidant nutrients depends on a person's exposure to endogenous and exogenous reactive oxygen species. Since cigarette smoking results in an increased cumulative exposure to reactive oxygen species, it would seem cigarette smokers would have an increased requirement for antioxidant nutrients. This review examines available evidence of alpha-tocopherol supplementation by smokers and its effect clinically and on in vitro biomarkers of oxidative stress.

متن کاملNatural antioxidants for the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Hypercholesterolemia, cigarette smoking, hypertension, and obesity are known contributing risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). However, they account for only half of all cases of CAD, and the complete pathologic process underlying atherosclerosis remains unknown. Growing evidence suggests that oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) ...
