Bioavailability of oral vitamin E formulations in adult volunteers and children with chronic cholestasis or cystic fibrosis.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To test bioequivalence of oral vitamin E formulations, water-soluble tocofersolan (test) and water-miscible (reference), in healthy adult volunteers, and their bioavailability in children with chronic cholestasis or cystic fibrosis. ... Read more...

Effects of different levels of vitamin E on growth performance and immune responses of broilers under heat stress.

29 Sep 2009 This experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effect of dietary vitamin E on growth performance and immune response of broilers under heat stress (HS). Birds raised in either a thermoneutral (23.9 degrees C constant) or HS (23.9 to 38 degrees C ... Read more...

Antioxidants and aging: NMR-based evidence of improved skeletal muscle perfusion and energetics.

16 Sep 2009 We sought to examine the potential role of oxidative stress on skeletal muscle function with advancing age. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was employed to simultaneously assess muscle perfusion (arterial spin labeling) and energetics ((31)P NMR ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Vitamin E'

Definition: A generic descriptor for all TOCOPHEROLS and TOCOTRIENOLS that exhibit ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of ISOPRENOIDS.
