Hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is not only a pathophysiological process involving
the liver, but also a complex systemic process affecting multiple tissues and organs. Hepatic …

Oxidative stress has been proposed as a key contributor to lifestyle-and age-related
diseases. Because free radicals play an important role in various processes such as …

Tocopherols and tocotrienols, collectively known as tocochromanols, are lipid-soluble
molecules that belong to the group of vitamin E compounds and are essential in the human …

During the last 90 years since the discovery of vitamin E, research has focused on different
properties of this molecule, the focus often depending on the specific techniques and …

Vitamin E is the major lipophilic, radical-scavenging antioxidant in vivo and protects humans
from the oxidative stress mediated by active oxygen and nitrogen species. The mechanisms …

What is an antioxidant? Can one, at a cellular level, speak of direct and indirect
antioxidants? Can oxidative stress be quantified and characterized? What are the oxidant …

Tocopherols are lipophilic antioxidants synthesized exclusively by photosynthetic organisms
and collectively constitute vitamin E, an essential nutrient for both humans and animals …

Abstract Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury associated with hepatic resections and liver
transplantation remains a serious complication in clinical practice, despite several attempts …

Oxidative stress is an important factor in many pathological conditions such as inflammation,
cancer, ageing and organ response to ischemia‐reperfusion. Humans have developed a …

Tocopherols are lipid-soluble compounds synthesized only by photosynthetic eukaryotes
and oxygenic cyanobacteria. The pathway and enzymes for tocopherol synthesis are …
