How can you use “gamma-tocopherol” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We found that gamma-tocopherol was taken up more rapidly and accumulated to higher levels than alpha-tocopherol in RAW264.
Under in vitro conditions, alpha- and gamma-tocopherol have very similar abilities to inhibit lipid peroxidation in large unilamellar liposomes [ 5 ] . The dietary intake of gamma-tocopherol is at least two times that of alpha-tocopherol in Western diets.
We also describe a novel high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for simultaneously separating and quantifying levels of alpha-tocopherol, alpha-tocopheryl quinone, gamma-tocopherol and gamma-tocopheryl quinone.
Both alpha- and gamma-tocopherol are absorbed from the intestine and secreted into chylomicrons equally well [ 6 7 ] . The selective retention of alpha-tocopherol in plasma is attributed to a number of factors such as the hepatic alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (alpha-TTP), which preferentially incorporates alpha-tocopherol (over gamma-tocopherol) into very low density lipoprotein [ 8 9 10 ] . Indeed, the affinity of the different forms of vitamin E for the alpha-TTP protein appears to be a primary determinant of their plasma levels [ 8 ] . In addition, there is evidence suggesting that gamma-tocopherol is preferentially catabolized to a water-soluble form (2,7, 8-trimethyl-2-(beta-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman or gamma-CEHC) by side chain oxidation [ 11 12 ] .
It is also possible that a more rapid cellular uptake of gamma-tocopherol (and removal from plasma) could contribute to the preferential maintenance of alpha-tocopherol in plasma.
