Plasma Tocopherol in Diabetes Mellitus¹

Department of Metabolism and Toxicology, and Dietary Department, Montreal General Hospital, Montreal, Canada

An analysis of values of plasma tocopherol in 63 cases of diabetes mellitus is reported. The mean value was normal but values exceeding the maximum normal level were met with in 7 of 270 tests. Although the plasma tocopherol levels of the entire group ranged between 0.5 and 2.4 mg%, values in any one case usually showed little variation. Plasma tocopherol levels could not be related to intakes of foods rich in vitamin E but were related to levels of plasma cholesterol.
