“…However, not all have been evaluated in clinical trials pertaining to alleviation of oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. To date, most clinical trials investigating the effects of supplementation on oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction have focused on the traditional exogenous antioxidants vitamins C and E. As with aerobic exercise training, antioxidant therapies utilizing vitamins C and E have been shown in clinical trials to reduce systemic biomarkers of oxidative stress in both healthy adults (Mah et al, 2013) and patients with preexisting vascular diseases (Abdollahzad et al, 2009). In addition, administration of vitamins C and E has been shown in some (Skyrme-Jones, O'Brien, Berry, & Meredith, 2000) but not all studies (McKechnie, Rubenfire, & Mosca, 2002;Title, Cummings, Giddens, Genest, & Nassar, 2000) to acutely improve flowmediated dilation (FMD) in patients with preexisting endothelial dysfunction.…”
