Abstract
A rapid method is described for measuring the antioxidant activity of low density lipoproteins. Studies were undertaken on individuals atten ding a hyperlipidaemia clinic, an unsupplemented group and a group aft er supplementation with 300 mg dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate for nine we eks, The results show a positive correlation between the antioxidant a ctivity and alpha-tocopherol content of LDL in the supplemented group.
