Urinary a -tocopherol metabolites in a -tocopherol transfer protein-deficient patients
Patients with a -tocopherol transfer protein ( a TTP) defects experience neurological symptoms characteristic of vitamin E deficiency and depend on continuous high a -tocopherol supplements. We investigated the excretion of 2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2(2 9 -carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman ( a -CEHC), a urinary metabolite of a -tocopherol, as a putative marker for the a -tocopherol status of a -TTP-defi...
متن کاملAlpha-Tocopherol Transfer Protein (α-TTP): Insights from Alpha-Tocopherol Transfer Protein Knockout Mice
Alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (alpha-TTP) is a liver cytosolic transport protein that faciliates alpha-tocopherol (alpha-T) transfer into liver secreted plasma lipoproteins. Genetic defects in alpha-TTP, like dietary vitamin E deficiency, are associated with infertility, muscular weakness and neurological disorders. Both human and alpha-TTP deficient (alpha-TTP(-/-)) mice exhibit severe pla...
متن کاملThe α-Tocopherol Transfer Protein Is Essential for Vertebrate Embryogenesis
The hepatic α-tocopherol transfer protein (TTP) is required for optimal α-tocopherol bioavailability in humans; mutations in the human TTPA gene result in the heritable disorder ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED, OMIM #277460). TTP is also expressed in mammalian uterine and placental cells and in the human embryonic yolk-sac, underscoring TTP's significance during fetal development. TTP an...
متن کاملThe α-tocopherol status and expression of α-tocopherol-related proteins in methionine-choline deficient rats treated with vitamin E
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common liver disorder in developed countries, and its incidence is increasing in all population groups. As an antioxidant, vitamin E is effective in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, although the mechanism is still unclear. Methionine-choline deficient Wistar rats (n = 5) used as an experimental model of non-alcoholic fatty liver d...
متن کاملA Novel Role for α-Tocopherol Transfer Protein (α-TTP) in Protecting against Chloroquine Toxicity*
Chloroquine (CQ) is a widely prescribed anti-malarial agent and is also prescribed to treat autoimmune diseases. Clinical treatment with CQ is often accompanied by serious side effects such as hepatitis and retinopathy. As a weak base, CQ accumulates in intracellular acidic organelles, raises the pH, and induces osmotic swelling and permeabilization of acidic organelles, which account for CQ-in...
