“…For instance, in HAEC cultures, the saturated FAs palmitate and stearate have been found to be pro-apoptotic, whereas unsaturated FAs are antiapoptotic (42). However, high levels of serum PUFAs, when insufficiently protected from peroxidation, may increase the risk of atherosclerotic complications (43). Other studies have demonstrated that exposure to oleic acid and LA increased human LDL transfer across cultured endothelial monolayers, whereas equivalent doses of palmitic, linolenic, arachidonic, and eicosapentaenoic acids did not (13).…”

“…In a prospective study, Kok et al (8) reported no interaction between serum selenium and serum vitamin E and risk of cardiovascular death. However, in another study (19), patients with severe atherosclerosis had significantly lower plasma selenium levels (relative to polyunsaturated fatty acids) than patients with mild atherosclerosis, but only in the subgroup with low plasma vitamin E status.…”

“…In hypercholesterolemia, the cholesterol content of erythrocytes, platelets, polymorphonuclear leucocytes and endothelial cells increases. This increase is reported to activate these cells and cause the enhanced production of oxygen free radicals (Kok et al, 1991;Prasad and Kalra, 1989). Erythrocytes, because of their intrinsic potential for free radical generation, might be a very suitable environment for cholesterol to exert its prooxidant action (Kay, 1991).…”
