ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for treating atherosclerosis. The method includes the step of administering to a patient having atherosclerosis, a noncysteine, non-thiol composition that will stimulate the intracellular synthesis of glutathione. In an embodiment, the non-cysteine, non-thiol composition is L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate. In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preventing atherosclerotic lesions in a patient at risk of same. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for preventing re-stenosis in a patient undergoing an invasive procedure to treat atherosclerosis.
