title: Tocopherol in lipoproteins and blood cells after cardiac surgery.
abstract: Cardiac surgery was associated with a marked reduction in circulating LDL and HDL particles, which in turn largely affectd alpha-toc transport. alpha-toc was decreased in WBCs but not in PLTs and RBCs. An increased hydroperoxide content was observed in LDL and possibly in HDL after cardiac surgery.
