Absence of VLDL secretion does not affect α-tocopherol content in peripheral tissues
α-Tocopherol is a lipid-soluble antioxidant that helps to prevent oxidative damage to cellular lipids. α-Tocopherol is absorbed by the intestine and is taken up and retained by the liver; it is widely presumed that α-tocopherol is then delivered to ...

Generation of superoxide and singlet oxygen from α-tocopherolquinone and analogues. [PDF]
Three potential routes to generation of reactive oxygen species from a tocopherolquinone have been identified. The quinone of the water-soluble vitamin E analogue Trolox C (Trol-Q) is reduced by hydrated electron and isopropanol a hydroxyalkyl radical ...

Potentials to differentiate milk composition by different feeding strategies [PDF]
To investigate the effect of the dietary intake of the cow on milk composition, bulk-tank milk was collected on 5 occasions from conventional (n = 15) and organic (n = 10) farms in Denmark and on 4 occasions from low-input nonorganic farms in the United ...

Effects of glutathione on the alpha-tocopherol-dependent inhibition of nuclear lipid peroxidation.
Endogenous alpha-tocopherol levels in isolated rat liver nuclei were determined to be 0.045 mol% (mol alpha-tocopherol per mol phospholipid x 100).

Fatty Acids, α-Tocopherol, β-Carotene and Lutein Contents in Forage Legumes, Forbs, and a Grass-Clover Mixture [PDF]
Fresh forages are an important natural source of vitamins and fatty acids in ruminant diets, and their concentrations in forage species are important for the quality of animal-derived foods such as dairy and meat products.

A new way of valorizing biomaterials: the use of sunflower protein for 1 a-tocopherol microencapsulation [PDF]
Biopolymer based microparticles were efficiently prepared from sunflower protein (SP) wall material and a-tocopherol (T) active core using a spray-drying technique. Protein enzymatic hydrolysis and/or N-acylation were carried out to make some structural

Studies on the distribution of tocopherol in human serum lipoproteins*
The tocopherol content of human serum proteins, isolated by density gradient and homogeneous density procedures, was determined by the Emmerie-Engel and phosphomolybdic acid methods. Serum tocopherol is found primarily in the lipoproteins.

Assessment of vitamin E status in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome: plasma, plasma corrected for lipids or red blood cell measurements? [PDF]
<b>Background:</b> There is some evidence that the plasma vitamin E status is perturbed as part of systemic inflammatory response and correcting this with other plasma markers may not lead to reliable results.

Scientific Opinion on Dietary Reference Values for vitamin E as α‐tocopherol
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) derived Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) for vitamin E. In this Opinion, the Panel considers vitamin E as α‐tocopherol only.
