article_snippet.sent: When testing mice whose immune cells lacked the repair enzyme, researchers led by Manfred Kopf, a professor at ETH Zurich, were able to save the immune cells by mixing a high dose of vitamin E into the animals' food.
article_snippet.sent: At 500 milligrams per kilogram of mouse feed, this quantity of vitamin E was ten times higher than was present in vitamin E normal food. '
article_snippet.sent: With little scientific evidence as yet making a strong case for vitamin supplements, Kopf felt vitamin supplements study was all the more interesting because their study proved the effectiveness of vitamin E. 'Our work shows that even a genetic defect in a major part of a cell's antioxidative machinery can be compensated for by delivering a high dose of vitamin E.
