Antioxidants and Restenosis: Animal Studies

  • Chapter
Antioxidants and Cardiovascular Disease

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 233))

Abstract

Experimental models have brought an impressive wealth of data demonstrating the protective effects of various antioxidants. Comparison among models is difficult, since there are major variations regarding types of model, dose and timing of antioxidant, and primary objectives to assess response to injury.
