The effect of vitamin E supplementation on oxidative stress and microinflammation state in patient with MHD / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the oxidative stress,microinflammation and their relationship in patients with MHD(maintenance hemodialysis)and to evaluate the effect and safety of vitamin E supplementation in patients with MHD.Methods Fifty-eight patients with MHD and 20 healthy volunteers were involved in this study.The patients were administered 400 mg/d of vitamin E for 6 weeks.The levels of oxidative vitamin E(Vit E),malondialdehyde(MDA),advanced oxidation protein product(AOPP),superoxide dismutase(SOD),activity of glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX),microinflammation cytokines C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-10(IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor(TNF-?)in plasma were measured at the beginning and the end of administering Vit E.Results 400 mg/d of Vit E supplementation decreased the levels of plasma AOPP,MDA,CRP,TNF-?(P
