BACKGROUND: Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) is an important endogenous antioxidant and may also act as an anticarcinogen.
AIM: To determine the vitamin E status of subjects with, and without, gastroduodenal inflammation and Helicobacter pylori infection.
SUBJECTS: 36 patients undergoing routine gastroscopy for investigation of dyspepsia.
METHODS: High performance liquid chromatography with fluorometric detection was used to determine alpha-tocopherol values.
RESULTS: In H pylori negative subjects with normal gastroduodenal histology (n = 11) median alpha-tocopherol values (ng/mg tissue weight) were significantly higher in the corpus (16.4, interquartile range (IQR) 8.9-22.6) than in the antrum (3.0, IQR 2.6-6.7, p = 0.001) or duodenum (6.7, IQR 2.5-8.4, p = 0.001). H pylori infection (n = 19) was associated with a reduction in the corpus alpha-tocopherol values (median 8.3, IQR 4.9-13.7, p < 0.05) but there was no significant change in the antral concentrations although this was the main site of inflammation and neutrophil activity. Duodenal alpha-tocopherol values were not significantly changed in the presence of duodenitis or gastric H pylori infection. alpha-Tocopherol was not detected in the gastric juice of any of the subjects. Plasma alpha-tocopherol concentrations in the H pylori negative subjects (median 10.4 mg/l, IQR 7.2-11.9) were not significantly different to the values in the H pylori positive subjects (median 11.1 mg/l, IQR 7.6-12.7).
CONCLUSIONS: Concentrations of alpha-tocopherol in H pylori negative subjects are higher in the corpus than in the antrum or duodenum. In the presence of predominantly antral H pylori infection and neutrophil activity the major change seen is a reduction in corpus alpha-tocopherol values while antral concentrations are maintained. These findings may reflect a mobilisation of antioxidant defences to the sites of maximal inflammation in the stomach.
