Abstract Background and aims Oxidative processes have been related to atherosclerosis, but there is scanty information on the role of dietary antioxidants in the prevention of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and results The relationship between non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity (NEAC) an...
