Vitamin E is a generic term for all tocopherol and tocotrienol derivatives. The most abundant
and active form of vitamin E isoforms in vivo is α-tocopherol, but recently the roles of other …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the antioxidant properties of α-tocopherol and α-
tocotrienol. Tocopherols and tocotrienols are present in various components of the human …

Tocopherols (vitamin E) are indispensable components of the lipid bilayer of biological
membranes; a decrease in their content brings about structural and functional damage of the …

Vitamin E, like tocotrienols and tocopherols, is constituted of compounds essential for animal
cells. Vitamin E is exclusively synthesized by photosynthetic eukaryotes and other oxygenic …

Recently we demonstrated that the C (7)-unsubstituted tetrahydro-1, 8-naphthyridin-3-ol has
more than an order of magnitude better peroxyl radical trapping activity than α-tocopherol (α …

The occurrence of reactive oxygen species, more generally denoted as prooxidants, is an
attribute of normal aerobic life. The existence and development of cells in an oxygen …

We report a rapid and convenient method for screening potential inhibitors of the initiation of
low density lipoprotein (LDL) lipid peroxidation. The method uses positively and negatively …

Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases and
antioxidants may represent potential tools for the prevention of these diseases. Here, we …

The possibility of a cooperative interaction between fat-soluble antioxidants is examined in a
membrane model. A combination of β-carotene and α-tocopherol results in an inhibition of …
