Abstract

A plethora of recent evidence suggests that some kind of oxidative process is involved in atherogenesis and that the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) may play a significant pathogenic role in atherosclerosis [1–3]. Based on the recommendations of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s expert panel [4], clinical trials to test the validity of the hypothesis in man are being undertaken using combinations of natural antioxidants.
