Alpha-Tocopherol concentrations were determined in the CSF of patients with early untreated Parkinson's disease receiving 2,000 IU vitamin E orally per day. After treatment the concentrations increased significantly (p < 0.001) by 76+/-10 (SE)%. The net increases in CSF alpha-tocopherol concentrations after treatment showed a significant positive correlation with the number of days of vitamin E ingestion (p < 0.001). Thus, high-dose vitamin E treatment results in elevating CSF vitamin E levels and possibly brain vitamin E levels.
对早期未经治疗且每日口服2000国际单位维生素E的帕金森病患者的脑脊液进行了α-生育酚浓度测定。治疗后,浓度显著升高(p<0.001),升高了76±10(标准误)%。治疗后脑脊液α-生育酚浓度的净升高与维生素E摄入天数呈显著正相关(p<0.001)。因此,高剂量维生素E治疗可提高脑脊液维生素E水平,并可能提高脑内维生素E水平。
