Antioxidants Supplementation in Elderly Cardiovascular Patients
Supplementation with antioxidants and its benefit-risk relationship have been largely discussed in the elderly population. We evaluated whether antioxidants supplementation improved the biochemical profile associated with oxidative metabolism in elderly cardiovascular patients. Patients (n = 112) received daily supplementation with α-TP 400 mg, beta-carotene 40 mg, and vitamin C 1000 mg for 2 m...
متن کاملVicissitudes in Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants in Elderly Niddm Patients
Advanced age in type-II diabetic patients is associated with an accumulation of free radical damage, which leads to physiological and\ clinical modifications. Age related changes resulting from free radical reactions include increasing levels of lipid peroxides, alterations in enzyme activities and greater osmotic fragility. The present study was conducted to estimate the level of lipid peroxid...
متن کاملOral antioxidants and cardiovascular health in the exercise-trained and untrained elderly: a radically different outcome.
Both antioxidant supplementation and exercise training have been identified as interventions which may reduce oxidative stress and thus improve cardiovascular health, but the interaction of these interventions on arterial BP (blood pressure) and vascular function has not been studied in older humans. Thus in six older (71+/-2 years) mildly hypertensive men, arterial BP was evaluated non-invasiv...
متن کاملOral magnesium supplementation improves vascular function in elderly diabetic patients.
Magnesium (Mg) ions directly influence vascular tone and responsiveness and are cofactors for acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation. Alterations in extracellular Mg are able to modify the formation and release of nitric oxide (NO), altering arterial smooth muscle tone. Previous in vivo studies in humans have shown that parenteral or oral Mg supplementation increase endothelial-...
متن کاملDietary antioxidants and cardiovascular disease.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Oxidative damage is involved in cardiovascular diseases. Intervention with alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and beta-carotene does not appear to reduce pathogenesis. The purpose of this review is to describe alternative antioxidant mechanisms that may be involved. RECENT FINDINGS Antioxidants with different chemical properties may recharge each other in an antioxidant network...
