Impact of LDL carotenoid and α-tocopherol content on LDL oxidation by endothelial cells in culture
Carotenoids and α-tocopherol are dietary, lipophilic antioxidants that may protect plasma lipoproteins from oxidation, a process believed to contribute to atherogenesis. Previous work demonstrated that after the Cu(II)-initiated oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL) in vitro, carotenoids...
