Biochemical vitamin E deficiency in chronic pancreatitis.

摘要: In order to study the frequency of biochemical vitamin E deficiency in chronic alcohol-induced pancreatitis, we measured plasma and total blood lipids 44 patients with pancreatitis 83 control subjects (44 normal controls; 39 Crohn's disease controls). Mean mean ratio E/total lipids, a more sensitive indicator status, were significantly lower when compared either group. A low was found 75% pancreatitis. Within group, those steatorrhoea (23 patients—pancreatic stea-torrhoea subgroup) than without (21 non-steatorrhoea subgroup). 91% pancreatic subgroup had ratio. However, steahorrhoea also levels controls. We conclude that is common particularly steatorrhoea, factors other fat malabsorption may be responsible for non-steatorrhoea.
