Altered vitamin E status in Niemann-Pick type C disease.

Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) is the major lipid-soluble antioxidant in many species. Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 gene, which regulates lipid transport through the endocytic pathway. NPC disease is characterized by massive intracellular accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and other lipids in lysosomal vesicles. We exa...

Type C Niemann-Pick disease. Lysosomal accumulation and defective intracellular mobilization of low density lipoprotein cholesterol.

The intracellular accumulation of unesterified cholesterol was examined during 24 h of low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake in normal and Niemann-Pick C fibroblasts by fluorescence microscopy with filipin staining and immunocytochemistry. Perinuclear fluorescence derived from filipin-sterol complexes was observed in both normal and mutant cells by 2 h. This perinuclear cholesterol staining reac...

Role of Vitamin C and Vitamin E in Health and Disease

Vitamin C has antioxidant property. It is the component of plasma and extracellular fluids and so can control lipid peroxidation of cellular membranes, thus maintaining the redox integrity of cells. Vitamin C along with Zinc enhances the immunity of the body. It has therapeutic potential against neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s disease. It has effects on increasing incidence of respir...

Vitamin E therapy prevents the accumulation of congophilic amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the hippocampus in a rat model of Alzheimer’s disease

Objective(s): Vitamin E may have beneficial effects on oxidative stress and Aβ-associated reactive oxygen species production in Alzheimer’s disease. But, the exact role of vitamin E as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis still needs to be studied. Hence, we examined the therapeutic effects of vitamin E on the density of congophilic amyloid plaques and neur...
