Vitamin E para Atherosclerosis
C Evidencia Evidencia limitada de estudios pequeños, pero existen algunas señales positivas.Strong mechanistic rationale (LDL oxidation inhibition) but large RCTs (HOPE, GISSI-Prevenzione) show no benefit. Meta-analysis suggests potential harm at >=400 IU/day. AHA does not recommend supplementation.
Conclusión
Strong mechanistic rationale (LDL oxidation inhibition) but large RCTs (HOPE, GISSI-Prevenzione) show no benefit. Meta-analysis suggests potential harm at >=400 IU/day. AHA does not recommend supplementation.
