RETINAL AND TISSUE VITAMIN E KINETICS IN THE NEWBORN KITTEN FOLLOWING VITAMIN E ADMINISTRATION

Plasma vitamin E values in the newborn.

Plasma vitamin E values of newborn infants in a Coloured population of Cape Town have been determined. The mean plasma alpha-tocopherol value was 3,2 +/- 0,8 mg/l. A significant correlation between the plasma alpha-tocopherol level and plasma total lipid content (r = 0,45; P less than 0,001) and plasma cholesterol level (r = 0,65; P less than 0,001) has been found. However, maternal and neonata...

Vitamin 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...

Tissue-Specific Effects of Vitamin E Supplementation

A multivitamin and mineral supplementation study of 6 weeks was conducted with male and female mice. The control group received a standard dose of vitamins and minerals of 1× the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI), whereas a second group received 3× RDI. A third group received a high dose of vitamin E (25× RDI), close to the upper limit of toxicity (UL), but still recommended and considered to be h...

The effect of carrier for vitamin E on liver concentrations of vitamin E and vitamin E excretion in broilers.

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of 2 carrier sources of vitamin E on growth performance and excreta and liver vitamin E concentrations of broilers. Chicks were pretested from d 0 to 7 posthatching on a corn-soybean meal diet without vitamin E supplementation, and the experiments lasted from d 7 to 19 posthatching. Each treatment in both experiments was replicated with 6 p...
