In a patient with Refsum's disease successful dietary control of the disease has been shown to depend on adequate energy and protein intake from phytanic acid-free sources and restriction of dietary phytanic acid to a maximum of 10 mg per day, with the provision of a generous amount of the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid. The present work gives data on the phytanic-acid content of various foodstuffs and suggests dietary manipulation of the patient.Although the role that chlorophyll-bound phytol plays in Refsum's disease is uncertain, it is advisable that this is eliminated until its role is more clearly identified. |
