    Abstract

    Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of mortality among adults. The increase in oxidative stress and defects in antioxidant defence plays a major role in endothelium performance and are an effective factor in the progress of atherosclerosis. Aim and Objectives: The aim of our study is to observe the correlation between serum vitamin C and coronary artery disease. Materials and methods: In this case-control study, a total of 100 patients were included out of which 50 patients with angiographically proven CAD as the case group and 50 apparently healthy age and sex-matched adults as the control group. Serum vitamin C levels were measured in both groups using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based kits
