Cheng J, Joyce A, Sanyal AJ. Metabolomic Profiling to Define Predictors of Response to Vitamin E for Non- Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). Gastroenterology 2011 May;140(Issue 5, Supplement 1):S903-S904.Abstract
Vitamin E has recently been shown to improve NASH in 43% of subjects.
Currently a liver biopsy is the only way to assess response. There is thus a need to identify
biomarkers of response and biomarkers predictive of response to treatment with vitamin E.
