Prospective studies of homocysteine and cardiovascular disease

Article Abstract:

Prospective studies show a positive relationship between an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and a moderately increased level of homocysteine (Hcy). The results of these studies, conducted using nested case-control method, agree with the results of retrospective case-control and cross-sectional studies. However, drugs used to treat cardiovascular diseases, dietary changes and the storage of the test material for many years may have caused the changes in Hcy concentration.

The importance of vitamin E in reducing cardiovascular risk

Article Abstract:

Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that protects humans from coronary artery disease by restricting lipid oxidation. Diets rich in antioxidant vitamins help lessen the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and the oxidized form of LDL are responsible for atherosclerosis. Vitamin E and other natural dietary antioxidants reduce the oxidation of LDL.
