Schafer L, Thorling EB. Lipid peroxidation and antioxidant supplementation in old age. Scand J Clin Lab Invest 1990 50: 69-75. An age-related rise in blood lipid peroxides measured by the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method has been reported in several studies. Our study was designed to investigate whether this could be attributed to antioxidant deficiencies in aged individuals. We therefore measured the TBA-value of young and old women and related this to vitamin E and selenium status and the fatty acid composition, triglyceride and cholesterol content of platelet-poor plasma. A significant difference (p
