Objective: To assess effects of vitamin E and C supplements on lipid profiles and antioxidant capacity in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients. Subjects and Methods: Forty CVD patients with age 57.7±10.6 years were selected to consume vitamin C and E daily for two months. Plasma lipid profile concentrations and antioxidant capacity were measured. Results: There was a decrease in cholesterol of 20%, triglyceride 21.9%, LDL 30.1%, and increase HDL 25.7% and an increase in antioxidant capacity of 62.8% (P<0.0001) . 2 Conclusion: The results showed that use of antioxidant supplements improved lipoprotein profile in parallel with increase in plasma antioxidant capacity.
