OBJECTIVE
Modification of low-density lipoprotein due to oxidative stress is essential in the development of coronary atherosclerosis. Data of specific carotenoids except β-carotene on cardioprotective effects in humans are limited.
RESULTS
This study examined the associations between plasma
Antioxidants, particularly carotenoids and tocopherols, may protect against cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to determine whether dietary and adipose tissue carotenoids and tocopherols are associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Cases (n = 1456) of a first
BACKGROUND
In vitro, animal and epidemiological studies suggest that lipoprotein oxidation may play an important role in atherosclerosis. Antioxidants may protect against lipoprotein oxidation and in that way inhibit atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae. To investigate this possibility, we
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
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
BACKGROUND
Carotenoids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease through their antioxidant properties, but the results of epidemiological studies are controversial. We analysed the relation between the intake of selected carotenoids and retinol and risk of acute myocardial infarction
OBJECTIVE
Dietary supplements have been proposed as a mechanism to improve health and prevent disease.
OBJECTIVE
To determine if supplementing diet with long-chain ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids or with macular xanthophylls results in a reduced rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
METHODS
The
Context: Lutein (LU) is a major carotenoid with various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptosis. Objective: The cardioprotective efficacy of LU was determined by evaluating the biochemical and histopathological changes in isoproterenol
BACKGROUND
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Protective agents that could diminish the injuries induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) are crucial to alleviate the detrimental outcome of stroke. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective roles of lutein in
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
BACKGROUND
Emerging evidence suggests a possible role of lycopene in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
OBJECTIVE
We examined whether plasma lycopene concentrations in the Physicians' Health Study were associated with CVD in a prospective, nested, case-control
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is a vegetable rich in antioxidants, such as lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Their presence is responsible for the characteristic ability of this product to inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species, including singlet oxygen. The grapes and wines derived
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to assess the indications, procedures, and pathology in premenarchal girls undergoing ovarian surgery.
METHODS
Retrospective chart review.
METHODS
University of Michigan Medical Center 1980-1996.
METHODS
Premenarchal girls, who underwent ovarian
The authors draw attention to the important role played by menopause in the onset of arterial hypertension, enhanced coronary risk and dyslipidemia, for which a particularly useful association has been found to be estrogens, only if administered by mouth (alone or with progestins), and statins. The
OBJECTIVE
Antioxidants may protect against atherosclerosis and thus prevent cerebrovascular disease. We studied the association between dietary antioxidants and subtypes of stroke.
METHODS
The study cohort consisted of 26 593 male smokers, aged 50 to 69 years, without a history of stroke. They were
