Plasma Lipid Peroxidation and Total Antioxidant Status among Dyslipidaemic and Hypertensive Nigerians with High Risk of Coronary Heart Disease

Abstract: BACKGROUND:The oxidative modification hypothesis of atherosclerosis predicts that low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) oxidation is an early event in atherosclerosis and that oxidized LDL-C contributes to atherogenesis OBJECTIVE: To determine a link, if any, between the plasma lipid peroxidation and total antioxidant status (TAS) among dyslipidemic and hypertensive Nigerian patients with high risk of coronary heart disease. METHODS: The study groups comprised 58 hypertensive adult Nigerians whose fastin… Show more
