We studied the long-term effects of vitamins E and C and their combination on lipid peroxidation in vivo and in vitro. The Antioxidant Supplementation in Atherosclerosis Prevention (ASAP) trial is a double-masked placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial to study the effects of vitamin C (500 mg of slow release ascorbate per day), vitamin E (182 mg of RRR-alpha-tocopherol acetate per day), and the combination of both antioxidants. Lipid peroxidation measurements were carried out for 48 male participants at entry and at 12 and 36 months. Compared with placebo, vitamin E and the vitamin combination increased plasma lipid-standardized alpha-tocopherol during the first 12 months by 68.2% and 65.2% (P:&lt;0. 001 for both), respectively, and reduced serum 7beta-hydroxycholesterol by 50.4% (P:=0.013) and 44.0% (P:=0.041), respectively. The net change of lipid standardized alpha-tocopherol was 63.8% after 36 months of vitamin E supplementation and 43.3% for the combination. Vitamin C supplementation elevated plasma total ascorbate level by 30.1% (P:=0.043) in 12 months and by 91.1% (P:=0. 001) in 36 months. Neither vitamin E, vitamin C, nor the combination influenced the urinary excretion rate of 7-hydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine or the antioxidative capacity of plasma. Vitamin E and the combination of vitamins E and C enhanced the oxidation resistance of isolated lipoproteins and total serum lipids. Our data indicate that long-term supplementation of nondepleted men with a reasonable dose of vitamin E alone or in combination with slow release vitamin C reduces lipid peroxidation in vitro and in vivo, whereas a relatively high dose of vitamin C alone does not.
