Jain SK; McVie R; Jaramillo JJ; Palmer M; Smith T J Am Coll Nutr 1996 Oct;15(5):458-61 OBJECTIVE: The glycation of proteins and elevated triglyceride (TG) levels are two of the major […] More

Study: Diabetes Chronic administration of pharmacologic doses of vitamin E improves the cardiac autonomic nervous system in patients with type 2 diabetes. Manzella D; Barbieri M; Ragno E; Paolisso G Am J Clin Nutr 2001 Jun;73(6):1052-7 BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes is associated with elevated oxidative stress and declines in antioxidant defense.
