DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN E CONTENT IN SUNFLOWER OILS AVAILABLE ON THE ROMANIAN MARKET
Vitamin E is soluble in fat and alcohol, withstands temperatures up to 250ºC, but is sensitive to light and oxygen. Very high or very low temperature values reduce the amount of tocopherol in food by up to two-thirds.

The uptake of tocopherols by RAW 264.7 macrophages
Background Alpha-Tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol are the two major forms of vitamin E in human plasma and the primary lipid soluble antioxidants. The dietary intake of gamma-tocopherol is generally higher than that of alpha-tocopherol.

Alpha-tocopherol exerts protective function against the mucotoxicity of particulate matter in amphibian and human goblet cells [PDF]
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) in ambient air is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disorders and mortality. The cytotoxicity of PM is mainly due to the abnormal increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage cellular components ...

Tocopherol and plastoquinone synthesis in spinach chloroplasts subfractions [PDF]
Subfractions isolated from intact purified spinach chloroplasts are able to prenylate the aromatic moiety of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 precursors. The biosynthesis of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 is a compartmentalized process.
