Bioavailability of vitamin E as function of food intake in healthy subjects: effects on plasma peroxide-scavenging activity and cholesterol-oxidation products.
Clinical trials with vitamin E have yielded contrasting results. In these trials, the amount of vitamin E given was different, and the compliance was not assessed in all studies. In addition, the modality of intake, ie, in relation to food, was not specified in any trial. Vitamin E is lipophilic, and its absorption is expected to be increased by food. We studied the bioavailability of vitamin E...
متن کاملMass spectrometry approaches for vitamin E research.
Vitamin E is an important nutrient with antioxidant and non-antioxidant functions, and certain evidence suggests that it has a cardiovascular protective role. It is therefore important to maintain an optimal vitamin E status. In the present paper, a number of MS applications to monitor vitamin E status and its interactions, including the use of stable-isotope-labelled vitamin E and metabonomics...
متن کاملSymposium: Molecular Mechanisms of Protective Effects of Vitamin E in Atherosclerosis Molecular Aspects of a-Tocotrienol Antioxidant Action and Cell Signalling
Vitamin E, the most important lipid-soluble antioxidant, was discovered at the University of California at Berkeley in 1922 in the laboratory of Herbert M. Evans (Science 1922, 55: 650). At least eight vitamin E isoforms with biological activity have been isolated from plant sources. Since its discovery, mainly antioxidant and recently also cell signaling aspects of tocopherols and tocotrienols...
متن کاملVitamin E protects rat testis, eye and erythrocyte from oxidative stress during exposure to radiofrequency wave generated by a BTS antenna model
Background: Radio frequency wave (RFW) generated by mobile phones and wireless communication systems has been reported to cause adverse effects on reproductive function, vision and hematological parameters, possibly through oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of RFW generated bybase transceiver station BTS on oxidative stress in testis, eye and erythrocyte, and th...
متن کاملPolyphenols: do they play a role in the prevention of human pathologies?
Polyphenols are the most abundant antioxidants in our diets. The main classes of polyphenols are phenolic acids (mainly caffeic acid) and flavonoids (the most abundant in the diet are flavanols (catechins plus proanthocyanidins), anthocyanins and their oxidation products), which account for one- and two-thirds, respectively. Polyphenols are reducing agents, and together with other dietary reduc...
