How can you use “tocopherol” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Uptake is defined as the net difference between tocopherol transported into the cells and loss due to catabolism and/or in vitro oxidation.
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.
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 ] .
To define the time course of tocopherol (or tocopheryl quinone) accumulation, adherent cells (2 × 10 6/well) were subcultured in 12 well falcon tissue culture plates with medium enriched with about 5 μM tocopherol (or about 0.5 μM quinone) (3 ml/well).
The final concentration of tocopherol (or tocopheryl quinone) in the culture medium was determined by HPLC (see below).
