Oxidative stress is a physiological condition that is associated with atherosclerosis, and it can be influenced by diet. Our objective was to group fifty-seven individuals with dyslipidaemia controlled by statins according to four oxidative biomarkers, and to evaluate the diet pattern and blood bioc...
