Abstract

The oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) can be induced by various active species by different mechanisms. Vitamin E and other radical-scavenging antioxidants can inhibit the free radical-mediated oxidation of LDL, but they are not effective against LDL oxidation induced by non-radical mechanisms.
