Micronutrients & recovery
Acute administration of Vitamin C (2g oral) reverses noise-induced endothelial dysfunction, suggesting oxidative stress is the primary mechanism of noise-induced vascular damage.
While Vitamin C can acutely improve blood vessel function after noise stress, this does not replace the need to minimize noise exposure. Using antioxidants to mitigate the damage of chronic stress is a secondary strategy; primary prevention involves reducing the stressor (noise).
Noise-induced endothelial dysfunction (ED) was reversed by the administration of Vitamin C (P = 0.0171).
Why this rating
Small subgroup analysis (n=5) limits generalizability, though the mechanism is clearly stated.
