The familiar role of tocols (tocopherols and tocotrienols) as lipid-soluble chain-terminating
inhibitors of lipid peroxidation is currently in the midst of a reinterpretation. New biological …

The antioxidant activity of tocotrienols toward peroxyl radicals was compared with that of
other natural lipid-soluble antioxidants in three different systems by measuring the temporal …

This article is a review of the fundamental chemistry of the tocopherols and tocotrienols
relevant to their antioxidant action. Despite the general agreement that α‐tocopherol is the …

The effects of alpha-tocopherol and its homologues with different chain lengths (6-hydroxy-
chromanes: C 1, C 6, C 11) on lipid peroxidation in natural membranes (liver microsomes …

Abstract d-Alpha-tocopherol (2R, 4′ R, 8′ R-Alpha-tocopherol) and d-alpha-tocotrienol
are two main vitamin E constituents having the same aromatic chromanol “head” but …

α-Tocopherol is known as the most abundant and active form of vitamin E homologues in
vivo, but recently the role of other forms of vitamin E has received renewed attention. The …

The rate and mechanism of inhibition of peroxidation of lipids by tocopherols in
homogeneous solution are now well-elucidated,'whereas those in the membranes are not …

Tocopherols (vitamin E) function as inhibitors of lipid peroxidation in biomembranes by
donating a hydrogen atom to the chain propagating lipid radicals, thus giving rise to …

The preparation of two highly sensitive fluorogenic α-tocopherol (TOH) analogues which
undergo> 30-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement upon reaction with peroxyl radicals is …

All of the naturally occurring vitamin E forms, as well as those of synthetic all-rac-α-
tocopherol, have relatively similar antioxidant properties, so why does the body prefer α …
