Vitamin A and E levels are normal in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Using high performance liquid chromatography, we measured serum levels of vitamin A and E in 10 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and 10 matched controls and found no statistically significant differences. Correlation coefficients in the ALS group showed no significant relationships among the variables age, sex, duration, and severity of ALS.
