radicals in diabetic microangiopathy: a randomized, controlled trial.
| Plain
English Summary: |
In
this study, the use of a vitamin E mousse was examined
for its effect on the free radicals in diabetics.
Patients with diabetic microangiopathy were enrolled
and a total of 40 participants were included. The
mousse was applied to one leg once a day, while the
other leg was not treated. At the conclusion of the
study, it was found that the use of the vitamin E
mousse did aid in improving the microcirculation.
Additionally, there was a decrease in free radicals,
and a subsequent improvement in metabolism. The vitamin
E supplement may be a beneficial addition to the treatment
of diabetic microangiopathy. |
