Formation of RRR-α-tocopherol in rumen and intestinal digestibility of tocopherols in dairy cows [PDF]
Tocopherol sources in diets are often a combination of all-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate (synthetic α-tocopherol) from vitamin supplements and natural tocopherols and 2R-(4′R, 8′R)-5,7,8-trimethyltocotrienol (α-tocotrienols) from the feed sources. Synthetic α-

α-Tocopherol modulates the low density lipoprotein receptor of human HepG2 cells [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of vitamin E (α-tocopherol) on the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, a cell surface protein which plays an important role in controlling blood cholesterol. Human HepG2 hepatoma cells were incubated

Mitigating degradation of frying oil and oil absorption of French fries caused by α-tocopherol and γ-oryzanol incorporation into rice bran oil [PDF]
α-Tocopherol and γ-oryzanol affect physicochemical properties of oils, while their role in frying oil uptake remains unclear. Thus, the influence of various concentrations of 0–1000 mg α-tocopherol/kg oil and 0–15,000 mg γ-oryzanol/kg oil on the oil ...

α-Tocopherols modify the membrane dipole potential leading to modulation of ligand binding by P-glycoprotein [PDF]
α-Tocopherol (vitamin E) has attracted considerable attention as a potential protective or palliative agent. In vitro, its free radical-scavenging antioxidant action has been widely demonstrated.

Biosynthesis of α-Tocopherol and Plastoquinone-9 in spinach chloroplasts [PDF]
Prenylation and methylation reaction in al biosynthesis is localized in the envelope membranes of the chloroplasts, while PQ-9 biosynthesis takes place in the envelope membranes and also in the thylakoid membranes. The sequence in a-T biosynthesis in spinach is (see also Figure 1): Homogentisate + Phytyl-PP —> Me-6-PQH?—> 2,3-Me2PQH?—>γ J ...

α-Tocopherol inhibits atherogenesis and improves cardiac function in mice independently of its antioxidant properties [PDF]
The impact of α-tocopherol on atherosclerosis is unclear and controversial. While some studies suggest potential benefits, such as antioxidant properties that may reduce oxidative stress, other studies indicate no significant preventive effects.

Chimeric Antisense Oligonucleotide Conjugated to α-Tocopherol
We developed an efficient system for delivering short interfering RNA (siRNA) to the liver by using α-tocopherol conjugation. The α-tocopherol–conjugated siRNA was effective and safe for RNA interference–mediated gene silencing in vivo. In contrast, when

α-Tocopherol in chloroplasts: Nothing more than an antioxidant?
Among the eight forms of vitamin E, only tocopherols are essential compounds that are distributed throughout the entire plant kingdom, with α-tocopherol being the most predominant form in photosynthetic tissues.
