What are the symptoms of vitamin E deficiency

summary

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that counteracts oxidation. Oxidation is a natural response associated with aging and disease, including atherosclerosis. In a recent study, participants over the age of 55 were randomly assigned to receive a 400 IU vitamin E supplement and a placebo. Each subject had either heart disease, diabetes, or at least one risk factor for myocardial infarction or stroke. Now let me talk about the symptoms of vitamin E deficiency.

What are the symptoms of vitamin E deficiency

First, when vitamin E deficiency, male testis atrophy does not produce sperm, female embryo and placenta atrophy causes abortion, hinders pituitary gland to regulate ovarian secretion of estrogen, and induces menopausal syndrome and premature ovarian failure.

Second: vitamin E deficiency: free radicals produced in the process of human metabolism can not only cause lipid peroxidation of biological membrane, damage the structure and function of cell membrane, and form lipofuscin; but also make protein deformation, inactivation of enzymes and hormones, decrease immunity, metabolic disorders, and promote aging.

Third: vitamin E is an essential substance in the human body, but the content of vitamin E in psoriasis serum is significantly lower than that in normal people. Therefore, vitamin E supplementation can maintain its normal content in the human body, so as to restore some functional abnormalities caused by the lack of vitamin E, and then play a therapeutic role in psoriasis.
