Vitamin E serves as an antioxidant in the body, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids (which are integral to cellular membranes) and other oxygen-sensitive substances, such as vitamins A and C, from oxidation. In premature infants, a deficiency in Vitamin E may lead to irritability, edema, thrombosis, and hemolytic anemia. In adults and children, low serum tocopherol levels have been associated with creatinuria, ceroid deposition, muscle weakness, decreased red blood cell survival, or increased hemolysis by oxidizing agents.
