High vitamin E plasma levels and low low-density lipoprotein oxidation are associated with the absence of atherosclerosis in octogenarians

Article Abstract:

This article investigates factors associated with the absence of clinical signs of atherosclerosis in adults over seventy-five years old. Findings indicate that decreased oxidation of low-density lipoprotein and elevated plasma concentrations of vitamin E are associated with aging without developing atherosclerosis.
