Dietary Oil And Endogenous Antioxidants In Hyperlipemia: Uric Acid

Accumulating evidence has shown that limited serum antioxidant reserves are an important indicator of risk of cardiovascular disease. Would depletion of exogenous antioxidants (e. g., serum vitamins), by oxidant stress, also lead to depletion of endogenous antioxidants? Serum antioxidants in hyperlipemic subjects eating self-selected diets, with dietary addenda of canola oil or milled nax seed, were measured. Dietary stress of polyunsaturated oil, here canola, depleted serum vitamins and urate, too.
