“RESULTS Neutrophil alphaT and ga maT in creased (both P <0.001) with mix ed tocopherol su pplementation, whereas alphaT (P <0.001) increased and gammaT decreased (P <0.005) after alphaT supplementation.”
“Supplementation with alpha-tocopherol caused alpha-tocopherol levels to rise (13.2 +/- 3.7 to 27.3 +/- 14 mug/mL), but gamma-tocopherol levels to decrease (4.1 +/- 1.6 to 3.5 +/- 1.1 mug/mL).”
