  • Title: Long-term management of abetalipoproteinaemia. Possible role for vitamin E.
    Author: Muller DP, Lloyd JK, Bird AC.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1977 Mar; 52(3):209-14. PubMed ID: 848999.
    Abstract:
    Eight patients with abetalipoproteinaemia have been followed for 3-4 to 15-8 years. Management included dietary fat restriction and supplements of the fat-solublevitamins A, E, and K. In the 3 oldest patients serial studies of retinal and neurological function suggest that treatment with large doses of oral vitamin E may have delayed the development or progression of the neurological and retinal lesions.
