Popis: This study assessed the effects of vitamin E (600 mg/day) and/or vitamin C (one gram/day) supplementation for 4 weeks in adult human male volunteers on the in vitro erythrocyte toxicity of a proposed toxic ozone (O3) intermediate [i.e. methyl oleate hydroperoxide (MOHP)]. The results indicated that neither antioxidant vitamin provided significant (p > 0.05) protection against MOHP‐induced changes in methemoglobin (METHB) and reduced glutathione (GSH) over a wide range of MOHP concentrations.
