Serum alpha-tocopherol, lipids, potassium and creatine phosphokinase levels we-remeasured in 20 adult male control patients and 120 malabsorption patients. The malabsorption group had significantly lower serum alpha-tocopherol levels than the control group. The change was independent of serum total lipid levels that were not significantly different among the two groups. Serum potassium and creatine phosphokinase did not correlate with serum alpha-tocopherol levels in either control and malabsorption group. Body mass indices that are directly relate to adiposity increased with increase of serum alpha-tocopherol and total lipids of serum.
