Absorption, lipoprotein transport, and regulation of plasma concentrations of vitamin E in humans.
1993
Kayden H.J. | Traber M.G.
This review describes the general characteristics of vitamin E, then focuses on its absorption and transport in lipoproteins in normal subjects and in patients with either genetic abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism or of vitamin E transport. The basis for the biological preference for RRR-alpha-tocopherol over other forms of vitamin E is then discussed. Finally, the evidence that the hepatic tocopherol-binding protein regulates vitamin E transport and plasma alpha-tocopherol concentrations is presented.
