Athinarayanan, Shaminie, Wei, Rongrong, Zhang, Min, Bai, Shaochun, Traber, Maret G., Yates, Katherine, Cummings, Oscar W., Molleston, Jean, Liu, Wanqing, and Chalasani, Naga

Abstract:

Vitamin E improved liver histology in children and adults with NAFLD who participated in TONIC and PIVENS clinical trials, but with significant inter-individual variability in its efficacy. Cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) is the major enzyme metabolizing Vit E, with two common genetic variants (V433M, rs2108622 and W12G, rs3093105) found to...
