Abstract
Of 27 patients with cystic fibrosis, 17 had levels of alpha-tocopherol more than 2 SD below the mean. Patients were randomly given either a water-miscible form of vitamin E or a fat-soluble form for 6 months. E ither form was effective in achieving normal serum levels; the fat-sol uble supplement has a significant cost advantage.
