    Summary

    Vitamins A and E offer protective effects against atherosclerosis by improving endothelial function and lipid profiles. These essential vitamins combat lipid peroxidation and support healthy cholesterol levels, aiding in disease prevention.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Science
    • Nutritional Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Atherosclerosis involves multiple pathogenetic factors including endothelial dysfunction, lipid alterations, and oxidative stress.
    • Existing research suggests potential benefits of vitamins A and E in addressing some of these factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the beneficial effects of vitamins A and E on key pathogenetic factors of atherosclerotic diseases.
    • To highlight the multifaceted roles of vitamins A and E in cardiovascular health.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of documented reports on vitamins A and E and their impact on atherosclerosis pathogenesis.
    • Analysis of established effects on endothelial function, lipid metabolism, and oxidative processes.

    Main Results:

    • Vitamins A and E demonstrate endothelium-protective and antiperoxidative activities.
    • These vitamins act as anti-aggregant agents, influence oxygen utilization, and increase HDL-cholesterol.
    • They also potentiate the lipid-lowering effects of nicotinic acid.

    Conclusions:

    • Vitamins A and E possess significant therapeutic potential in managing atherosclerotic diseases.
    • Their combined actions on various pathogenetic pathways underscore their importance in cardiovascular health and disease prevention.
