Abstract. Vitamin E includes lipophilic derivatives of chromanol having one, two, or three methyl substituents on the phenolic ring. Vitamin E molecules, mainly α- and γ-tocopherols, are the most important antioxidants in nature. Their antioxidant effect is optimum at a certain range of concentrations, above which the vitamin exhibits a loss ...
As indicated, vitamin E concentrations are influenced by harvest conditions because they influence vegetation periods and then the degree of maturation of the seeds used to extract oil . Closer inspection of Table 3 indicates that the α and β homologues are more present than γ-tocopherols.
October 9, 2017 By Kentucky Equine Research Staff. Horses depend on their diets for vitamin A and E. Because horses cannot synthesize these vitamins "in-house," they must consume them from forages or concentrates. For horses that have access to plentiful amounts of fresh green forage, additional vitamin supplementation is often unnecessary.
PUFA, categorised into n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, are important cell membrane components and key elements in child development, brain and visual functioning and physical health and well-being throughout the life course.Dietary sources that are rich in PUFA include many vegetable oils, nuts, seeds and certain types of fish. As PUFA …
Soybean seed samples (about 5 g) were ground to a fine powder. A total of 0.1 g of soybean flour and 0.05 g of ascorbic acid were mixed in a 5 ml tube, and stirred with 3 ml of 80% (w/v) ethanol for 10 s. After super-sonication for 15 min at room temperature exactly 2 ml of hexyl-hydride was added and stirred for 10 min.
The importance of Vitamin E in health and reproduction. The term vitamin E refers to the two groups of compounds; the tocopherols and the tocotrienols, which have antioxidant activity in cellular membranes.20 The most biologically active form is a-tocopherol4 and is the standard used when describing a birds' requirement.14 Plants are the ...
Vitamin E required amounts. The determination of how much of a nutrient is required daily is dependent on specifically assessing not only its function but also defining a biomarker that is indicative of inadequacy that changes with nutrient intakes ().For vitamin E, results from the in vitro hydrogen peroxide–induced erythrocyte hemolysis test were …
Clinical uses: Humans with defects in the TTPA gene (encoding α-TTP) have extraordinarily low (1/100 of normal) plasma vitamin E concentrations, but if they are given vitamin E supplements, plasma concentrations normalize within hours; if supplementation is halted, plasma vitamin E concentrations decrease within days to deficient levels. A …
Data from North American adults showed relatively low concentrations, even though 18% took vitamin E supplements . Similar concentrations were found for nonusers in another study, whereas those for users of vitamin E supplements were substantially higher . Plasma γ-tocopherol accounts for only a minor proportion of vitamin E in the …
1. Introduction. Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid) is a hydrophilic analog of α-tocopherol, the most active and the most common form of tocopherols (vitamin E) in the human body. α-tocopherol is the major lipid antioxidant of biomembranes; it prevents membrane oxidative damage through inhibition of …
In green leaves, the content of vitamin E may be 10â€"50 g g 1 [7], but oil seeds are the richest source of vitamin E with total tocochromanol levels ranging from …
These concentrations correspond to 7- to 10- fold increase in total vitamin E content of seeds compared to those of the SDA-1 parent and non-transformed lines. In …
Linearity was evaluated by studying six-level calibration curves plotted for retinol and α-tocopherol standards over a concentration range of 1.00–200 μg/mL (vitamin A) and 1.06 to 532 μg/mL (vitamin E), and the following regression equations were obtained: y = 0.5786x + 0.6625 and y = 0.0631x − 0.1524 for vitamins A and E, …
Tocotrienols, however, are the primary form of vitamin E in seeds of most monocotyledon plants such as rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [9] and in a limited number of dicotyledon plants [10] . ... which amounts to a difference of 4.4 times between the highest and the lowest concentrations. The variation range of -T3 …
The aim of this study was to examine whether dietary sesame seed also increased vitamin K concentrations, because its metabolic pathway is similar to that of vitamin E. To test the effect of sesame lignan on vitamin K concentrations, male Wistar rats were fed a control diet or a diet with 0.2% sesamin (a sesame lignan) for 7 d in experiment 1.

Although the specific nutritional requirements and normal values for selenium and vitamin E have not been reported in mules, 1 study of a small, varied population of donkeys identified similar plasma vitamin E concentrations and substantially lower plasma selenium concentrations compared to horses. 39 It is unclear, however, if whole blood ...
Vitamin E was discovered in 1922 as an element essential for normal reproductive function in rats. 1 Over the next 50 years, evidence emerged that vitamin E was also important for normal immune, neurologic, and muscular system function. This review includes comparative information on the function, absorption, metabolism, and …
CYP4F-dependent vitamin E catabolism is a critical determinant of vitamin E concentrations in various tissues, because ketoconazole, a CYP inhibitor, clearly inhibited urinary CEHC excretion levels and increased vitamin E concentrations in rats (14). Sesamin also inhibited tocopherol ω-hydroxylation in human and rat liver microsomes (12).
Abstract. Tocopherols (vitamin E) are lipophilic antioxidants synthesized by all plants and are particularly abundant in seeds. Despite cloning of the complete suite of tocopherol biosynthetic enzymes and successful engineering of the tocopherol content and composition of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves and seeds, the functions of tocopherols in …
The present study has shown that application of vitamin E seed coating tend to enhance positive traits in stored seeds (including concentrations of , SOD, …
These findings align with the existing literature on olive oils, where vitamin E concentrations typically range from 80 to 500 mg/kg [17], and βtocopherol concentrations typically vary from 1 to ...
Horses obtain the highest amount of vitamin E from grazing pasture, ranging from 350-3,000 IU of vitamin E/day when consuming 1.7% of their body weight on a 90% dry matter diet of pasture. This range is variable because the vitamin E available on pasture is subject to change based on the time of year. Vitamin E concentrations …
Vitamin E tocochromanols are generated in plants by prenylation of homogentisate using geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGDP) for tocotrienol biosynthesis and phytyl diphosphate (PDP) for tocopherol biosynthesis. ... The addition of HGO RNAi further increased tocochromanol concentrations to 5000 μg/g seed weight, an unprecedented …
Soybean seeds are rich sources of vitamin E tochromanols with typical concentrations of 250–350 μg/g seed weight (Almonor et al., 1998; Van Eenennaam et al., 2003). Vitamin E tocochromanols occur almost exclusively as tocopherols in soybean seeds, and ~60% is in the γ-tocopherol form, with the remainder of the tocopherol in the …
Therefore dietary sesamin increase tissue levels of vitamin K and vitamin E in healthy male rats. These effects are interesting because they provide a mechanisms by which the known health benefits of sesamin might be explained in humans. In human studies consumption of 50 grams of sesame seeds per day for 5 weeks increased tissue …
Oral vitamin C produces tissue and plasma concentrations that the body tightly controls. Approximately 70%–90% of vitamin C is absorbed at moderate intakes of 30–180 mg/day. However, at doses above 1 g/day, absorption falls to less than 50% and absorbed, unmetabolized ascorbic acid is excreted in the urine [ 4 ].
