Vitamin E dosing study (VEDS) in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease with elevated aminotransferases: A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial

Listen to this summary

The study aimed to determine the lowest effective dose of vitamin E that would lead to the greatest reduction in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and elevated aminotransferases. Results indicated that a daily dose of 200 IU of vitamin E was as effective as higher doses in reducing ALT levels and normalizing them in a greater proportion of patients, with no significant safety concerns observed.
