Preservation of the endogenous antioxidants in low density lipoprotein by ascorbate but not probucol during oxidative modification.

Abstract: Several lines of evidence indicate that the oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) may provide an important link between plasma LDL and the genesis ofthe atherosclerotic lesion. Ascorbate is an important water-soluble, chainbreaking antioxidant in humans. Probucol, a lipid-soluble antioxidant drug has been shown to retard the progression of atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of probucol and physiologic levels of ascorbate on the oxidative modification of … Show more

“…Vitamin C [(+)-sodium L-ascorbate] was dissolved in sterile deionized water. In the experimental studies, the average antioxidant dose of vitamin C in vitro was determined to be 50 µM [20,31]. Accordingly, this concentration of vitamin C was added along with BPA to the culture medium.…”

“…3 The evidence of the lipid peroxidation-inhibiting effects of vitamins E and C in vitro is plentiful. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In addition, oral vitamin E supplementation has consistently increased the oxidation resistance of isolated lipoproteins in vitro. 8 -13 Vitamin C has had been shown to have a similar effect in a few 14 -16 but not in all 17 studies.…”
