Vitamin E--its role in neurological function.
Studies in patients with abetalipoproteinaemia, other chronic and severe fat malabsorptive states and a selective defect in vitamin E absorption, together with neuropathological studies in the vitamin E deficient human, monkey and rat indicate that vitamin E is important for normal neurological function. Appropriate vitamin E supplementation is, therefore, advisable for all patients with chroni...
متن کاملThe location and function of vitamin E in membranes (review).
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that consists of a group of tocols and tocotrienols with hydrophobic character, but possessing a hydroxyl substituent that confers an amphipathic character on them. The isomers of biological importance are the tocopherols, of which alpha-tocopherol is the most potent vitamin. Vitamin E partitions into lipoproteins and cell membranes, where it represents a mino...
متن کاملSar1 bends membranes into shape
Sar1 bends membranes into shape V esicle formation involves curving membranes into buds that constrict at the neck and eventually pinch off completely. Coat proteins and their regulators induce these membrane deformations. In the case of ER to Golgi transport, vesicle formation is initiated by the small GTPase Sar1 and the COPII coat proteins that it recruits to ER exit sites. Long et al. now d...
متن کاملCombination of vitamin E and vitamin C alleviates renal function in hyperoxaluric rats via antioxidant activity
Hyperoxaluria and oxidative stress are risk factors in calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation. Supplement with antioxidant could be effective in prevention of recurrent stone formation. The present study aims to evaluate the protective effects of vitamin E and vitamin C in hyperoxaluric rat. The experiment was performed in rats for 21 days. Rats were divided into 5 groups as follows: control (g...
متن کاملDoes vitamin E prevent or promote cancer?
The cancer preventive activity of vitamin E has been suggested by many epidemiologic studies. However, several recent large-scale human trials with α-tocopherol, the most commonly recognized and used form of vitamin E, failed to show a cancer preventive effect. The recently finished follow-up of the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) even showed higher prostate cancer incid...
