Vitamin E: Interactions with Free Radicals and Ascorbate
Abstract
The association of the tocopherols with lipid peroxidation in biological systems began in the early days of investigations on the chemical nature of these substances (25). Since then a great deal of work has attempted to relate the symptoms of vitamin E deficiency with peroxidative degradation of lipids, primarily those associated with membranous organelles. The signs of vitamin E deficiency in various species of animals are diverse, involving different tissues with different manifestations and different degrees of severity. Thus, it seems clear that the biological function of this vitamin is not specific in the sense of its being a cofactor for an enzymic reaction (as is the case for the B-complex vitamins). Given the appropriate species and certain dietary and environmental conditions, essentially any tissue can be made to develop characteristic signs as a result of a deficiency of this vitamin. In some human disease states, supple mentation of vitamin E at levels far exceeding those normally required amelio rates or improves the condition. Because of this multiplicity of effects, a common denominator that might explain the effects of a deficiency or excess of this vitamin is not obvious. A common denominator to consider, however, is

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
