Ethanol

supplement:

Gamma-Tocopherol

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Also of significance is that ethanol feeding decreased the plasma and liver gamma-tocopherol more than the alpha-tocopherol in both normal and vitamin E-deficient animals.
However, ethanol feeding decreased liver alpha- and gamma-tocopherol by 58.5 and 56.5% (P < 0.01), respectively, beyond the already low levels observed in this group.
In conclusion, ethanol feeding markedly decreased both alpha- and gamma-tocopherol in livers of normal and vitamin E-deficient rats, but it only decreased plasma levels of tocopherols in normal rats.

The concentration of gamma-tocopherol (but not alpha-tocopherol) per milligram of lung tissue and per total lung was significantly (p less than or equal to 0.05) increased with ethanol feeding.
These data indicate that chronic ethanol ingestion significantly alters the distribution of alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol in hepatic and extrahepatic tissues of the rat.
