How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Among children with NASH in TONIC, resolution at 96 weeks occurred in 25/43 (58%) receiving vitamin E versus 11/39 (28%) receiving placebo (P=0.006).
Experimental context and source evidence

- false
- experimental_model
- TONIC randomized double-blind trial; 173 children aged 8–17 with biopsy-confirmed NAFLD

- RRR-alpha-tocopherol 400 IU twice daily for 96 weeks; E and placebo groups n=58 each.
