Much evidence has accumulated that implicates the oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the early stages of atherogenesis. The antioxidant nutrients alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, and betacarotene have been shown to inhibit in vitro LDL oxidation. In addition, they have been shown to increase the resistance of LDL to oxidation when given to animals and humans. Because plasma levels of these nutrients can be increased by dietary supplementation with minimal side effects, they may show promise in the prevention of coronary artery disease.
大量证据表明,低密度脂蛋白(LDL)的氧化修饰与动脉粥样硬化的早期阶段有关。抗氧化营养素α-生育酚、抗坏血酸和β-胡萝卜素已被证明在体外可抑制LDL氧化。此外,给动物和人类服用这些营养素后,它们还能提高LDL的抗氧化能力。由于通过饮食补充这些营养素可提高血浆水平,且副作用最小,因此它们在预防冠状动脉疾病方面可能具有前景。
