Brief summary

To evaluate the kinetics of intestinal absorption of vitamin E water-soluble form from the classical lipid-soluble form in a population of patients with intestinal malabsorption (hypocholesterolemias family by retention of chylomicrons).

Interventions

Administration of a daily dose of vitamin E for 4 months:50 IU/kg

Administration of a daily dose of vitamin E for 4 months:50 IU/kg

DRUGTocofersolan and tocopherol alpha

Administration of a single dose of vitamin E (Vitamin E water-soluble then Vitamin E conventional fat-soluble form)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Measurement the area under the curve of absorption of vitamin E according to its dosage form (fat-soluble versus water-soluble) in the beginning of each treatment period. versus water-soluble) in the beginning of each treatment period.12 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Measurement of serum (membranes erythrocytic) of vitamin E at the beginning and after each treatment.12 monthsMeasurement of serum (membranes erythrocytic) of vitamin E at the beginning and after each treatment. Search for a correlation between the rates in adipose tissue and those in the membrane of erythrocytes.
Measurement of tissue (subcutaneous adipose tissue) of vitamin E at the beginning and after each treatment.12 monthsMeasurement of tissue (subcutaneous adipose tissue) of vitamin E at the beginning and after each treatment. Search for a correlation between the rates in adipose tissue and those in the membrane of erythrocytes.
