Disease relevance of VITAMIN E

  • During a Phase I study of intravenous vitamin E-free alcohol (all-rac-alpha-tocopherol or Ephynal) in patients with neuroblastoma, we noticed a bleeding diathesis in two patients receiving 2300 mg/m2 daily for four or more days in succession [1].
  • In infants with birth weight less than 1 000 g treatment with 25 mg Ephynal/day was found to increase serum-alpha-tocopherol on day seven to 46.9 +/- 12.3 mumol/l (mean +/- SD) [2].
