Neutrophil superoxide anion?generating capacity, endothelial function and oxidative stress in chronic heart failure: effects of short- and long-term vitamin C therapy.

OBJECTIVES First, we sought to study the effects of short- and long-term vitamin C therapy on oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in chronic heart failure (CHF), and second, we sought…

Impairment of Endothelial Functions by Acute Hyperhomocysteinemia and Reversal by Antioxidant Vitamins.

Context  Increased levels of homocysteine are associated with risk of cardiovascular disease. Homocysteine may cause this risk by impairing endothelial cell function. Objective  To evaluate the effect of acute hyperhomocysteinemia…
