Abstract
⺠Arterial lipid/protein oxidation occurs during and is thought to cause atherogenesis. ⺠Vitamin E, however, does not generally attenuate atherosclerosis or reduce CVD. ⺠Arterial lipoprotein oxidation can be dissociated from atherosclerosis. ⺠Antioxidants inhibit atherosclerosis by means other than oxidant scavenging. ⺠Burden of proof needs to shift to proving that oxidative damage causes atherosclerosis.
