Oxidant injury and antioxidant prevention: Role of dietary antioxidants, minerals, and drugs in the management of coronary heart disease [Part II]

  • Original Article
  • Published:
Comprehensive Therapy

Abstract

Antioxidants, trace minerals, and certain amino acids enhance antioxidant defense of the body by improving intracellular redox status, vascular endothelial function, and nitric oxide secretion. Antioxidant supplementation has been suggested for primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease.
