Impaired discrimination between stereoisomers of alpha-tocopherol in patients with familial isolated vitamin E deficiency.
1 Feb 1993
Abstract excerpt
We assessed whether patients with familial isolated vitamin E deficiency could discriminate between natural (RRR-) and synthetic (SRR-) stereoisomers of alpha-tocopherol labeled with six (d6) or three (d3) deuterium atoms, respectively.
