ANTIOXIDANT VITAMINS A, E, C AND TOTAL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS ATTENDING AMINU KANO TEACHING HOSPITAL, KANO

Nwaogu, J. Wasagu, R. S. U. And James, T. O..


Abstract
The antioxidant vitamins A, E, and C and total cholesterol levels in 100 hypertensive and 80 apparently healthy nonhypertensive patients (control) were investigated. Vitamins A, and E were estimated by Ultra-violet method and C was determined using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. Cholesterol was estimated by randox kits .The total serum cholesterol level in the hypertensive patients was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the control value. The antioxidant vitamins A, E, and C were significantly (p<0.05) lower in hypertensive patients than in the control. The study revealed higher prevalence of vitamin A, C and E deficiency in hypertensive patients than in the control group. There was a negative correlation between serum cholesterol level and each of the antioxidants level in hypertensive patients. The concentration of these antioxidants decreases with increase in total serum cholesterol. This reduced the potential of the antioxidants to reduce the free radicals in the body, and this may lead to complications such as hypertension.

Key words: Antioxidants, Cholesterol, Hypertensive patients, Lipids, Atherosclerosis
