Vitamin E does not influence plasma lipoprotein metabolism in healthy subjects with normal nutritional status.
The effect of a 6-week treatment with large doses (600 IU/day) of vitamin E on plasma lipoprotein metabolism has been studied in six healthy middle-aged subjects. No consistent change was observed during the treatment in the plasma concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol or apolipoproteins AI, AII and B or in the activity of postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase or hepatic lipase. It is concluded that vitamin E does not influence plasma lipoprotein metabolism in healthy subjects with normal nutritional status.
