Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant and is possibly involved in the prevention of coronary heart disease by inhibiting oxidative modification of LDL cholesterol. The results of studies on the association between vitamin-E intake and coronary heart disease are inconsistent in observational studies and absent in large-scale intervention studies. This may be the consequence of confounding in observational studies and imperfections in the design of intervention trials. Another explanation is that vitamin E may only function protectively in the presence of sufficient co-antioxidants. At present, there is no evidence that vitamin E lowers the risk of coronary heart disease. |
