Distribution of alpha Tocopherol in Human Plasma Lipoproteins,
Abstract
Plasma was obtained from 14 normal people after an overnight fast and the standard lipoprotein classes were separated in the ultracentrifuge. Protein, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, and alpha-tocopherol were determined on each lipoprotein and plasma sample. Alpha-tocopherol was found in all lipoprotein classes. Alpha-tocopherol level correlated best with total lipids (r=0.855), phospholipids (r=0.801), and cholesterol (r=0.795). Poor correlations were obtained with triglycerides (r=0.317) and proetin (r=0.368). Two subjects who were taking supplementary alpha-tocopherol were also studied and their alpha-tocopherol values were higher but distribution among lipoprotein classes was similar. (Author)
