Dietary vitamin E (VE) could be an excellent tool in treating atopic dermatitis, say researchers.
Their single-blind clinical analysis of 96 subjects with atopic dermatitis found a correlation between VE intake, levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and clinical manifestations of atopy.
The effects on subjective symptoms and serum IgE levels of oral VE intake were compared with those of placebo (PL) by dermatologists from the University of Siena, Italy, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, and University of Florence, Italy. Fifty randomised subjects were given once a day, for eight months, 400 IU (268 mg) of VE of natural origin while 46 took PL.
On enrolment, and every 15 days throughout the study, tests were made for complete blood count, serum IgE levels, radioallergosorbent test (RAST) score, antinuclear antibodies (ANA), and biochemical analysis.
