Absorption, transport, and tissue delivery of vitamin E

摘要: Vitamin E is one of the most abundant lipid-soluble antioxidant agents found in plasma and cells higher mammals. The uptake, transport tissue delivery alpha-tocopherol, a key vitamin form, involves molecular, biochemical, cellular processes closely related to overall lipid lipoprotein homeostasis. This review highlights recent findings that have led better understanding transport, including intestinal absorption, hepatic uptake alpha-tocopherol vivo. new information may be critical for manipulation homeostasis variety oxidative stress-related disease conditions humans.
