Executive Summary
VITAMIN E LEVEL EVALUATION IN PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY PATIENTS with no known cause for the condition was recommended by Maret Traber, PhD, University of California at Berkeley, at the American Dietetic Association annual meeting in Orlando, Fla. on Oct. 18. Traber suggested that people with no known cause of peripheral neuropathy "may be the same kinds of patients" in terms of their ability to retain vitamin E as those with Friedreich's ataxia, a hereditary degenerative disease that has been associated with low plasma vitamin E levels.
