Genetic Variations Involved in Vitamin E Status
Vitamin E (VE) is the generic term for four tocopherols and four tocotrienols that exhibit the biological activity of α-tocopherol. VE status, which is usually estimated by measuring fasting blood VE concentration, is affected by numerous factors, such as dietary VE intake, VE absorption efficiency, and VE catabolism. Several of these factors are in turn modulated by genetic variations in genes...
متن کاملGenetic variations involved in interindividual variability in carotenoid status.
As shown in most clinical studies dedicated to carotenoids, there is a huge interindividual variability in absorption, and blood and tissue responses, of dietary carotenoids. The recent discovery that several proteins are involved in carotenoid metabolism in humans has prompted a possible explanation for this phenomenon: genetic variants in genes encoding for these proteins may affect their exp...
متن کاملGenetic Variations Associated with Vitamin A Status and Vitamin A Bioavailability
Blood concentration of vitamin A (VA), which is present as different molecules, i.e., mainly retinol and provitamin A carotenoids, plus retinyl esters in the postprandial period after a VA-containing meal, is affected by numerous factors: dietary VA intake, VA absorption efficiency, efficiency of provitamin A carotenoid conversion to VA, VA tissue uptake, etc. Most of these factors are in turn ...
متن کاملVitamin E Status and Hyperlipidemia
The oxidative modification hypothesis of atherogenesis suggests that the oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) plays an important role in the progression of the disease [1]. This theory implies that antioxidants, such as vitamin E (the major lipophilic antioxidant in the body), should be beneficial in protecting and preventing atherosclerosis. A cardioprotective role for vitamin E is furt...
متن کاملVitamin E status of the newborn in relation to gestational age, birth weight and maternal vitamin E status.
1. Studies were made on the vitamin E status of the newborn as judged by cord serum vitamin E and erythrocyte haemolysis in vitro in relation to gestational age, birth weight and maternal vitamin E status in subjects belonging to low (LIG)- and high (HIG)-income groups in urban Baroda. 2. In the case of full-term infants, the mean values for maternal serum vitamin E (mg/l) for LIG (n 73) and HI...
