Fat-Soluble Vitamin E
There are two types of vitamins, waters soluble vitamin and water-soluble vitamins, fat soluble vitamins, includes vitamin k, vitamin A, Vitamin D, and vitamin E. You can remember fat soluble vitamins as A, D, E and K.
Dietary sources, of vitamin E are, Vegetable oils, nuts, and green leafy vegetables.
500 IU, alpha-tocopherol per day, claim inhibition of lipid oxidation in atherosclerotic lesions.
Vitamin E includes different groups of fat-soluble compounds and that are tocopherols and tocotrienols.
Tocopherols include:
✔️️ Alpha-Tocopherol
✔️️ Beta-Tocopherol
✔️️ Gamma-Tocopherol
✔️️ Delta-Tocopherol
Tocotrienols, also include alpha, beta, gamma, and delta forms. Alpha-form of tocopherol is the most active one, this alpha form, consists of 6-hydroxy, chromane ring with isoprenoid side chain. Antioxidant property, of vitamin E is due OH on this chromane ring.
To understand their structure, watch a video on Vitamin E.
Vitamin E Antioxidant
Vitamin E prevents lipid peroxidation, this process involves three steps:
Initiation
Propagation
Termination
These steps involve different compound, these are as following:
Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Hydroxyl radical
Lipid peroxyl radical
Lipid peroxide
To understand these steps and role of vitamin E in lipid peroxidation watch our video on vitamin E.
Alpha-tocopherol is a secondary or a chain breaking antioxidant, it inhibits propagative phase.
Vitamin E Toxicity
Few toxic effects have been reported, however high doses might cause increased clotting times in subjects with a low vitamin K status.
Vitamin E Deficiency Diseases
Vitamin E Deficiency occurs in following:
✔️ Children with cystic fibrosis.
