Abstract
Red blood cells of newborn infants are hemolyzed by dilute solns. of H2O2. This hemclysis may be prevented by vit. E in vitro or in vivo. However, even with high daily doses of vit. E (500 mg. of mixed tocopherols) given the mother during the last weeks of pregnancy the hemolysis test in the newborn remained unaltered.Keywords
