the predominant form of vitamin E in tissues and its deficiency leads to ataxia in humans …

All of the naturally occurring vitamin E forms, as well as those of synthetic all-rac-α-
tocopherol, have relatively similar antioxidant properties, so why does the body prefer α …

protecting lipoproteins, PUFA, cellular and intra-cellular membranes from damage. The aim …

Natural vitamin E includes four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. RRR-α-tocopherol is the
most abundant form in nature and has the highest biological activity. Although vitamin E is …

Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) was discovered nearly 100 years ago because it was required to
prevent fetal resorption in pregnant, vitamin E-deficient rats fed lard-containing diets that …

Vitamin E is indispensible for reproduction in female rats. In humans, vitamin E deficiency
