Vitamin E-Lipid Relationships in Premature Infants1

Samuel Gross and Miranda V. Guilford

Department of Pediatrics, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine at Babies' and Children's Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio 44106

A study was conducted with 36 premature infants to determine the effect of body weight 4 to 12 days after birth and supplementation with vitamin E on the distribution of lipids between plasma and erythrocytes. The infants were grouped into two groups, the larger (> 1600 g) and the smaller (< 1600 g). The larger infants responded to the addition of vitamin E by a significant rise in the red blood cell/plasma lipid ratio. In the smaller infants this did not occur.
