Vitamin E helps keep arteries clean women

Vitamin E helps keep arteries clean women

Italian scientists recently reported that women if vitamin E intake less, even in the absence of other risk factors, in their heart attack and stroke risk will increase. In their study found that vitamin E intake up to the women in their carotid artery bifurcation fatty plaque formation of the least likely, under normal circumstances the carotid bifurcation fatty plaque is most likely to start gathering place. This fatty plaque formation known as atherosclerosis, heart disease and stroke lead is the most important risk factors.
Italian Federico II University of Paolo Rubba, and so people think that this discovery suggests that often exist in nuts, olive oil and some vegetables in vitamin E, will be able to prevent fatty plaques in the early gathering. The study, published in September this year, the "Journal of Clinical Nutrition". Rubba, such as the 310 people aged 30 to 69-year-old subjects were investigated, examined the blood of vitamin A, C, E and other antioxidants level. At the same time researchers also investigated the subjects of past history, medication history, personal habits and eating all kinds of food such as the frequency conducted an investigation. According to the consumption of food rich in vitamin E, researchers will be divided into three groups of women. Subjects, no one vitamin supplement through other means.
The researchers found that those vitamin E-rich foods consumed most of the women, in the carotid bifurcation of the deposition of fatty plaques minimum. In postmenopausal women, those minimum levels of vitamin E intake of artery plaques in the possibility of an increase of nearly three times, regardless of their age, smoking habits, blood pressure, body mass index and other heart disease risk factors in how. At the same time the researchers also found that those in the blood level of vitamin E to lower cholesterol levels in the possibility of carotid artery plaque doubled. Although this study, in the intake of vitamin E and the formation of arterial plaque is associated, but the effects of vitamin E is fat plaque formation of the exact mechanism is unclear. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, it can lead to cell damage and in the radical, and the latter precisely in the formation of fatty plaques in the course of play a very important role. But in this study also found that a number of other anti-oxidants such as vitamin A, C, and β carotene and unrelated to the formation of fatty plaque. The researchers concluded that the need for vitamin E and fatty arterial plaque in the formation of the correlation between carry out more research work.
