heal.abstract	Background This study was designed to research the effect of hypercholesterolaemia and ascorbic acid on forearm blood flow (FBF) reactive hyperaemia (RH). Reactive hyperaemia seems to be at least partly endothelium-dependent. Endothelial dysfunction has been described in patients with hypercholesterolaemia, and has been reversed with ascorbic acid administration.Method Forearm blood flow was studied with venous occlusion plethsmography in 26 healthy	en
