Abstract excerpt
Although all forms of vitamin E are absorbed, the liver preferentially secretes alpha-, but not gamma-tocopherol, into plasma. Liver alpha-tocopherol secretion is under the control of the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (TTP). Therefore, to assess gamma-tocopherol bioactivities Ttpa-/-, +/- and +/+ mice were fed for 5 weeks diets containing gamma-tocopherol 550 (gamma-T550), gamma-tocopherol 60 (gamma-T60)...
