Vitamin E homologues alpha- and gamma-tocopherol are not associated with bone turnover markers or bone mineral density in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women

摘要

In a large cohort of older women, we investigated the relationships that different forms of vitamin E may have with bone turnover markers and bone mineral density (BMD). We found a suggestive positive association between serum alpha-tocopherol and BMD at the femoral neck, but no other clinically relevant observations.
