We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician about Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements Clinical research trials and Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectualness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover treatments for all sorts of conditions, such as Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements. Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to access healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for without cost, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements clinical trial. Subjects often receive the most expert healthcare possible for their Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements



Oxidative Stress and Vitamin E Requirements

For Condition: Smoking
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) ,
Synopsis: The purpose of this study is to determine if oxidative stress derived from cigarette smoking increases vitamin E requirements. The study will also assess the role of vitamin C in modulating vitamin E requirements. Vitamin E requirements will be assessed by measuring vitamin E in plasma as well as by measuring the excreted metabolite in the urine.
Details: We will be investigating the fractional disappearance rate of tocopherols in cigarette smokers compared to nonsmokers. This will be accomplished by supplementing individuals with deuterium labeled alpha- and gamma-tocopherols. Quantification of plasma tocopherols as well as urinary metabolites, alpha- and gamma-CEHC, will be determined using LC/MS analysis. In addition, the role of vitamin C as it pertains to its influence on the fraction disappearance rate of vitamin E will also be evaluated.
