“…Several hypotheses explain the occurrence and prevention of atherosclerosis. In living organisms, endogenous antioxidant molecules (e.g., uric acid, glutathione, bilirubin, coenzyme Q, lipoic acid, melatonin) and dietary antioxidants (e.g., vitamins E, A, and C and minerals zinc, magnesium, copper, and selenium) limit the harmful effect of oxidants [ 23 ]. However, epidemiological studies evaluating the relationship between micronutrients and atherogenic markers (lipids and lipoproteins ratios) are still scarce.…”

“…Em relação a vitamina A, o baixo consumo foi constatado também no estudo de Silva et al 25 com 61 idosos pacientes do ambulatório de nutrição de um Hospital de Cardiologia de São Paulo, em que a ingestão média da vitamina foi de 714,11mcg para o gênero masculino e 486,06mcg para o gênero feminino. Mesmo a população brasileira consumindo carnes frequentemente, a qual é alimento fonte dessa vitamina, apresenta baixo consumo de frutas e hortaliças, fonte de carotenoides precursores da vitamina A, o que pode explicar a inadequação 30 .…”

“…Thus, the Se present in foodstuff can be influenced by the environment and soils, especially those with a high concentration of Se, which can theoretically produce foods richer in this nutrient, enabling its adequate intake. Based on this, the consumption of this mineral in Brazilian diets varies according to region (Tureck et al, 2017).…”
