Abstract Introduction The prevention of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a real
challenge due to its rising prevalence and the lack of an effective cure. Diet and nutrients …

A hundred years have passed since vitamin E was identified as an essential micronutrient
for mammals. Since then, many biological functions of vitamin E have been unraveled in …

In order to assess peripheral levels and activities of a broad spectrum of non-enzymatic and
enzymatic antioxidants in elderly subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and …

Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that primarily protects cells from damage associated
with oxidative stress caused by free radicals. The brain is highly susceptible to oxidative …

Antioxidants in the diet have long been thought to confer some level of protection against the
oxidative damage that is involved in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease as well as general …

Background: Antioxidants, such as tocopherols and carotenoids, have been implicated in
the prevention of degenerative diseases. Although correlations have been made between …

Objectives Vitamin E has various functions in humans, including antioxidant, anti-
inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-atherogenic actions, as well as direct effects on …

Background. The primary biologic mechanism that causes frailty in older persons has never
been adequately explained. According to recent views, oxidative stress may be the driving …

OBJECTIVE: To examine α-tocopherol intake and food sources of α-tocopherol in the US
population relative to current Dietary Reference Intakes for vitamin E. DESIGN: We analyzed …

A large body of evidence supports a role of oxidative stress in Alzheimer disease (AD) and
in cerebrovascular disease. A vascular component might be critical in the pathophysiology …
