Effect of Vitamin Supplementation on Serum Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Levels in Male Subjects with Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
Authors
Abstract:
Objective(s) 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 factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The main objectives of this study were to assess the effects of antioxidant vitamins on ox-LDL as a biomarker of CVD in male subjects with CVD risk factors. Materials and Methods The effect of antioxidant vitamins on ox-LDL as a biomarker of CVD in male subjects with CVD in male subjects with CVD risk factors at baseline and after 12 weeks of supplementation with vitamin E (400 IU), C (500 mg), ß-carotene (15 mg), and the combined supplements (E, C, and ß-carotene) respectively defined as group E, C, B and control group was considered as group P. Results The mean values for ox-LDL at the baseline were 86.93 ± 26.30 U/l in group C, 94.52 ± 38.40 U/l in group E, 79.73±2.07 U/l in group B, 85.97±23.07 U/l in combined group, and 84.90± 14.66 U/l in group P. After 12 weeks of intervention the percentage of changes for group C, group E, group B, COM group, and group P were (-18.32), (-2286), (-17.31), (-19.01) and (-2.0), respectively. Using Wilcoxon method, significant differences were detected in the mean ox-LDL concentrations of baseline and after intervention, values in the C, E, B and combined groups (P< 005). Conclusion This study illustrated that diet supplemented with vitamin C (500 mg), vitamin E (400 IU), ß-carotene (15 mg), and the combination of these vitamins was associated with lower serum ox-LDL levels.

background: elevated serum levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxldl) have been found in type 2 and in poorly controlled diabetic patients. gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) has common features with type 2 diabetes. objective: the aim of our study was to evaluate the serum levels of oxldl in women with gdm compared to normal pregnant women. materials and methods: in this cross-section...
full textIncreased presence of oxidized low‐density lipoprotein in the left ventricular blood of subjects with cardiovascular disease
OxidizedLDL(Ox-LDL) and oxidative stress have been implicated in both atherosclerosis and congestive heart failure (HF) development. Here, we tested whether Ox-LDLlevels in left ventricular blood (LVB) might differ from those of venous peripheral blood (PB), and whether the level might depend on cardiac function. We also tested whether theLDLmolecule is likely to have a longer residence time in...

This study examines the association of plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) levels with all-cause dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia. Data are taken from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging, a population-based study of a representative sample of persons aged more than 65 years conducted from 1991 to 2002. The present study sample included 670 subjec...
full textThe effect of pharmacological supplementation with vitamin C on low-density lipoprotein oxidation.
AIMS Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant but there is limited information on its ability to prevent LDL oxidation and its interaction with other natural antioxidants in vivo. We assessed the effect of 4 weeks pharmacological supplementation with vitamin C 1 g day(-1) on copper induced LDL oxidation and lipid peroxidation. METHODS Blood samples were obtained at baseline and at ...
