- Abstract
Introduction: Vitamin A and its derivatives, are involved in several important cellular processes. They have anti‐oxidative properties and the ability to regulate gene expression. Vitamin E occurs naturally in the diet. It has several biological activities, including functioning as an antioxidant to scavenge toxic free radicals. In this project we aimed to invastigate the avarage levels of vitamin A and vitamin E in the patients admitted to our hospital. Material and Methods: Between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016, patients who had both vitamin A, vitamin E parameters were screened retrospectively for patients who were admitted to Ankara Atatürk Training and Research Hospital. IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 statistical program was used for the analysis. Results: The mean value of vitamin A is 708.27 mg/L and the mean value of Vitamin E is 11.89 mg/L. We also found a positive correlation between Vitamin A levels and Vitamin E levels (r = 0.114 , p = 0.045 ) Discussion: Vitamin E defincy effects on cell growth. Vitamin E modulates the activity of several signal transduction enzymes with consequent alterations of gene expression. Vitamin A effects on gene expression. They are both strong antioxidants and so important for human metabolism. In this study we also found a positive correlation between these parameters.
