Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in the body, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids and other oxygen-sensitive substances like vitamins A and C from oxidation. Vitamin E deficiency can lead to irritability, edema, thrombosis, and hemolytic anemia in premature neonates. In adults and children with low serum tocopherol levels, effects such as creatinuria, ceroid deposition, muscle weakness, decreased erythrocyte survival, or increased in vitro hemolysis by oxidizing agents have been observed.
