Are α-Tocopherol adipose tissue stores depleted after burn injury in pediatric patients?
These data emphasize that the burn injury experienced by these pediatric patients altered their metabolism such that vitamin E status diminished during the month after injury. Further studies are needed to evaluate the mechanism and consequences of the observed vitamin E depletion. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00675714.
A specific method for identifying F. o. cucumerinum and F. o. luffae was achieved.
