Correction of vitamin E deficiency in children with chronic cholestasis. II. Effect on gastrointestinal and hepatic function
Ronald J. Sokol, James E. Heubi, Catherine McGraw, William F. Balistreri – 1 November 1986 – Although secondary vitamin E deficiency causes a reversible neurologic disorder in children with chronic cholestasis, the effect of this deficiency state on other organ systems is unknown. We studied the effects of vitamin E therapy on selected gastrointestinal and hepatic functions in five children with chronic cholestasis and well‐documented biochemical and neurologic evidence of vitamin E deficiency.
