Gastric α-tocopherol and β-carotene concentrations in association with Helicobacter pylori infection

Abstract

Gastric alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene concentrations are affected by H. pylori-associated gastric histological changes, and these findings suggest that H. pylori infection may not only impair the protective role of vitamin C, but also of alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene in the stomach.
