Abstract
CHAN and TOMLINSON, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Taipei Medical College, Taipei Wan Fang Hospital, Taiwan examined the antioxidant effects of trilinolein, a triacylglycerol isolated from the Chinese herb sanchi (Panax pseudoginseng) and commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Oxygen-derived free radicals (OFR) cause lipid peroxidation, which is thought to contribute to the process of atherosclerosis and the myocardial damage that occurs with ischaemia and reperfusion. Antioxidants could potentially ameliorate such harmful effects.
