Pro-oxidant Effect Of Alpha-tocopherol In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes After An Oral Glucose Tolerance Test--a Randomised Controlled Trial

In type 2 diabetics given high dose alpha-tocopherol supplements (1,200 IU) daily for four weeks, while baseline DNA damage did not appear to be altered the increase in oxidation expected after an oral glucose tolerance test was exacerbated resulting in 13.6% more DNA damage relative to placebo.
