| Abstract: | In view of sufficient body of evidence to substantiate the role of free radical mediated oxidative injury in myocardial infarction
(M.I.), the utility of exogenous supplementation with antioxidant substance, vitamin E was studied. Forty patients of acute
myocardial infarction were divided into two equal groups, one who received vitamin E and the other who did not. Plasma MDA
levels showed a reduction in patients of M.I. who received vitamin E as well as in those who did not, however, the decrease
was significantly more in the vitamin E treated subgroup. |
