colleagues1 conclude that, in haemodialysis
patients who have increased
oxidative stress and are at high risk of
atherosclerotic complications, 800 IU
vitamin E daily reduces the risk of
vascular accidents, including myocardial
infarction.
The results are consistent with our
study, in which we show that vitamin
E interferes with one of the most
important mechanisms in the initiation
and progression of atherosclerosis—
cholesterol accumulation in the
vessel wall.2 We have shown that autologous
radiolabelled LDL injected
in patients, who underwent carotid
endarterectomy, localised in the
macrophages of atherosclerotic plaque
and that 900 mg vitamin E daily
almost completely prevented this
effect.
