Gamma-Tocopherol – An Underestimated Vitamin?
@article{Wagner2004GammaTocopherolA, title={Gamma-Tocopherol – An Underestimated Vitamin?}, author={K. Wagner and A. Kamal-eldin and I. Elmadfa}, journal={Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism}, year={2004}, volume={48}, pages={169 - 188} }
The main research activities of the last decades on tocopherols were mainly focused on α-tocopherol, in particular when considering the biological activities. However, recent studies have increased the knowledge on γ-tocopherol, which is the major form of vitamin E in the diet in the USA, but not in Europe. γ-Tocopherol provides different antioxidant activities in food and in-vitro studies and showed higher activity in trapping lipophilic electrophiles and reactive nitrogen and oxygen species… CONTINUE READING
