Reference range for potassium concentration is lower in Barbados than Europe

Erythrocyte vitamin E is oxidized at a lower peroxide concentration in neonates than in adults.

Erythrocytes of neonates and adults were incubated with increasing concentrations of H2O2 in the presence of a catalase inhibitor and in the absence of glucose; the pattern of oxidation of vitamin E was analyzed in relationship to that of glutathione, hemoglobin, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and in relationship to hemolysis. The changes of these various parameters were analyzed in fu...
