摘要:
RRR-alpha-Tocopherol (Vitamin E) was assayed in plasma of 48 patients with viral hepatitis and of 32 healthy controls. In patients with highly elevated serum transaminases (ALT<100 U/L) vitamin E plasma levels were significantly lower (17.5±4.8μmol/L) than in controls (22.7±4.2μmol/L, p<0.01). The vitamin E/ lipid ratios (3.12±0.63μmol/g) in these patients were 33% lower than those of the controls (4.68±0.54μmol/g). The lowered vitamin E levels in patients with acute or chronic viral hepatitis with high activity of disease may be due to free radical-mediated liver injury.
