  • Title: [Selenium and vitamin E in patients with progressive muscular dystrophy].
    Author: Voirin J, Deschrevel G, Guincestre JY, Foucault P, Bureau F, Duhamel JF.
    Journal: Ann Pediatr (Paris); 1990 Jun; 37(6):377-9. PubMed ID: 2400191.
    Abstract:
    Serum levels of selenium and vitamin E were prospectively studied in children with Duchenne de Boulogne muscular dystrophy of variable age and muscular status. In contrast with previous studies, we found no differences with controls. However, we believe that selenium and vitamin E, two natural antioxydants, may contribute to the pathophysiology of pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy. A study of the effects of supplementation is on-going.
