How can you use “tocopherol” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
These data show that the nmoles of tocopherol that accumulated in cells after 6 hr is very small compared to the amount in the medium.
The changes in tocopherol levels (expressed as nmoles/well) in the medium were also measured during both the uptake and depletion phases and these data are provided in Tables 1(for alpha-tocopherol or gamma-tocopherol) and 2(for alpha-tocopherol plus gamma-tocopherol).
During the course of the cell culture experiment, a 400 μl aliquot of medium was removed every 2 hr and placed in a glass vial for tocopherol (or quinone) measurement and the remaining medium removed.
Tocopherol quinones were considered to be likely oxidization products of the tocopherols.
It has been proposed that vitamin E may incorporate into cellular membranes by association of the tocopherol side chain with the polyenoic fatty acid residues in the membrane fatty acids [ 15 19 ] . This interaction may stabilize cell membranes by making highly unsaturated fatty acids less liable to peroxidation as well as by making highly unsaturated fatty acids less available for phospholipid hydrolysis by phospholipase [ 15 16 ] . The latter action may reduce mobilization of arachidonic acid (AA) from the membranes and in this way reduce the amount of AA available as a substrate to cyclooxygenase and/or lipoxygenase to produce eicosanoids with mitogenic and with inflammatory properties [ 17 20 ] . Other possible antitumor actions include: induction of apoptosis, interference with hormone production, modulation of cellular signaling and gene transcription, and induction of differentiation [ 4 21 22 23 24 ] .
