Summary
The authors report on a study of the levels of lipoperoxides, reduced ascorbic acid and total iron in the plasma and in vein walls in normal subjects and in those with varicosities. The plasma levels were not significantly different in between the 2 groups. There was a non-significant elevation in the level of lipoperoxides in the vein wall in subjects with varicosis together with a significant lowering of the other two factors. It is not clear whether this is cause or effect.
