Serum vitamin E and cholesterol concentrations were measured in 50 children with protein energy malnutrition (PEM) and results were compared with a group of 50 normal controls. Mean serum vitamin E concentration as well as vitamin E/cholesterol ratio were found to be reduced in children with PEM while their mean serum cholesterol level was not significantly different from the control group. Data suggest that the reduced levels of serum vitamin E in PEM may be a result of malnutrition per se.
对50名患有蛋白质能量营养不良(PEM)的儿童测定了血清维生素E和胆固醇浓度,并将结果与50名正常对照组儿童进行了比较。发现PEM儿童的血清维生素E平均浓度以及维生素E/胆固醇比值降低,而他们的血清胆固醇平均水平与对照组无显著差异。数据表明,PEM患儿血清维生素E水平降低可能是营养不良本身所致。
