Figure 4 Oxidation of LDL by PMA-stimulated leukocytes in the presence of rat plasma. Administration of ${alpha}$ - or ${gamma}$ -tocopherol to rats significantly decreased the rate of oxidation induced by PMA-stimulated leukocytes (p < 0.05 vs. control rats). ${gamma}$ -Tocopherol had stronger effect in reducing oxidizability of LDL than ${alpha}$ -tocopherol (p < 0.05). Data (mean ± SD) shown are from five separate experiments.
