Vitamin C treatment has a possible role in benefiting patients with coronary heart disease by
countering the adverse effects of the high-fat meal.
The postprandial serum triglyceride concentration is raised after a high-fat meal and this postprandial state is critical in atherogenesis, inducing endothelial dysfunction through an oxidative stress mechanism.
These were the findings of a study that included 74 patients with coronary heart disease and 50 people without the disease but who had risk factors. These two groups were split into subgroups: those who received 2 g of vitamin C and those who did not after eating high-fat meal.
The study was conducted by Dr Ling Liu, Department of Cardiology, Hunan University, Hunan, People’s Republic of China, and co-workers.
