The study had crossover design and includes two periods with vitamins supplementation\: on empty stomach or with meals, each proceeded with \"wash out period\". Vitamin E and C, SH, albumin levels, FRAP, lag phase and TBARS, LOOH concentrations, AUC LDL oxidation were measured. The hsCRP test and the ACB test \(assessing ischemia modified albumin \(IMA\) level\) were also performed. Results\: 1\) Supplementation decreased oxidative stress and increased plasma antioxidant potential in all investigated groups, especially m II and III groups 2\) Food intake increased the bioavailability of ingested vitamins E plus C and improved biochemical markers of plasma redox status 3\) Subjects more responsive to vitamin E plus C supplementation were characterized by low initial vitamin E and vitamin C serum concentrations and high hsCRP and IMA concentrations, accompanied by undergoing modifications atherosclerosis risk factors\: visceral obesity, hypertension and hypertriglicerydemia. Conclusion\: The new risk factors\: antioxidants, hsCRP and IMA"]
