Vitamin E treatment in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: A six-month, open-label study of sixteen patients.
Free radicals have a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Decreasing oxidative stress might have beneficial effects on the biochemical and histologic progression of this disease. ⋯ In this small, 6-month, open-label study, vitamin E treatment was safe and well tolerated and led to potential biochemical and histologic improvements (except in fibrosis) in patients with NASH.
