Serum vitamin E in inherited ataxias

Acta Neurol (Napoli). 1990 Apr;12(2):147-50.

Abstract

We report the results on the serum vitamin E amount in Friedreich's and other inherited ataxias. Subnormal serum vitamin E values have been found confirming a possible involvement of this vitamin in the pathogenesis of the ataxic syndromes.
