Ozone and vitamin E.
Vitamin E deficiency in rats is associated with a greater susceptibility to lethal levels of ozone. Exposure of rats to sublethal ozone concentrations produces an accelerated decline in serum vitamin E levels. These findings are consistent with the possibility that lipid peroxidation is a mechanism of ozone toxicity.
