α-TOH, RRR-alpha-tocopherol; γ-TOH, RRR-gamma-tocopherol; α-TQ, RRR-alpha-tocopheryl quinone; γ-TQ, RRR-gamma-tocopheryl quinone; gamma-CEHC, 2,7, 8-trimethyl-2-(beta-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman.
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 ] .
