In contrast, atherosclerosis is rare in countries where people suffer from starvation, indicating a strong influence of Western nutrition on atherogenesis. On the other hand, atherosclerosis was found to be closely connected with oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) which transports cholesterol to cells. The crucial problem how atherosclerosis, oxidation of LDL and an oversupply of fatty food might be connected unified experts in the fields of medicine, biochemistry, chemistry, and food chemistry from Europe and the United States at a meeting on "Atherosclerosis and Lipid Peroxidation" held between

Erythrocytes might be expected to be highly susceptible to peroxidation. Their membranes are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids; they are continuously exposed to high concentrations of oxygen; and they contain a powerful transition metal catalyst. In fact, autoxidation is held in check in vivo by e
