title: Vitamin E status in children with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency.
abstract: Vitamin E status was compared in 69 children (7.0-10.0 years) with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III sample (6.0-11.9 years). With median vitamin E intakes of 6 mg/day (dietary) and 224 mg/day (supplemental), children with cystic fibrosis had higher serum alpha-tocopherol:cholesterol ratios, higher alpha-tocopherol, and lower cholesterol levels than in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
