Summary
The purposes of this study are two-fold. The first purpose is to determine the effect of
taking vitamins on the recovery of an artery (blood vessel) following an induced temporary
injury. The second purpose is to determine whether a specific vasodilator is less abundant
after the injury and whether this contributes to increased constriction or after the injury.
Finally, does vitamin consumption have an effect on the recovery from the injury if one of
the substances in the blood that causes vessels to enlarge (dilate) is stopped?
