Probes of tocopherol biochemistry: fluorophores, imaging agents, and fake antioxidants
… systems against reactive radical species, but none are as crucial in the protection of lipid membranes as vitamin E. As a result of a selection process mediated by the α-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP), α-tocopherol is the only form of vitamin E retained in the body. This chaperon protein …

Natural versus synthetic alpha-tocopherol using cell and animal models
… of nature’s famous lipid-soluble chain-breaking antioxidants. Although originally discovered in the 1920s as an essential rodent fertility factor, decades of research also demonstrate α-T’s essentiality in the lipid-rich, oxidative-stress-prone environment of the central nervous system. Indeed, …

Vitamin E : elucidation of the mechanism of side chain degradation and gene regulatory functions
… research. Most of the progress concerning non-antioxidant functions, nevertheless, has only arisen from publications during the last decade. Most recently, the metabolic pathway of vitamin E has been almost completely elucidated. Vitamin E is metabolized by truncation of its side chain. The …
