Plasma levels of vitamin E in Parkinson's disease.
We report the analysis of plasma levels of vitamin E that has been found normal in 20 italian patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) confirming the previously reported results from other groups. We discuss the literature data about the possible protective effect of antioxidant agents in the PD and generally in the aging processes.
