The oxidative modification of LDL is believed to be an initial step in atherosclerosis. Thus, antioxidative substances such as carotenoids may have a role in the prevention of coronary heart disease. We examined the susceptibility of LDL to Cu2+ oxidation in young adults before and after a single dose of beta-cryptoxanthin.
