Abstract
We studied changes in lipid peroxidation, vitamin E status and lipid profile due to smoking in healthy subjects, patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), and in stabilized patients surviving MI. A significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations was observed in MI patients, more than in smokers (P<0.05), as compared to control. The plasma vitamin E as well as the ratio of vitamin E/lipids were significantly lower in MI patients as compared to stable ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients and controls. Our data show that smoking is associated with lowered antioxidant status in MI.Entities:
