Possible Interaction: Vitamin E and Rabbit Allergenic Extract

“In support of this idea, we now report significantly reduced formation of lipofuscin when the antioxidant substances lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene (carotenoids), or alpha-tocopherol were added to rabbit and bovine (calf) retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells exposed to normobaric hyperoxia (40%) and photoreceptor outer segments.”

“It was shown that alpha-TP is a potent inhibitor of the rabbit heart enzyme: the maximum extent of inhibition is 80%.”

“Human and rabbit platelets preincubated with vitamin E had lowered lipoxygenase activity.”

“Furthermore, vitamin E antagonized the toxic effects of LCT and improved semen quality of male rabbit.”

“These results support the concept that down-regulation of adhesion molecule expression and suppression of monocyte/macrophage activation by Vitamin E in vivo is one of the potential mechanisms by which Vitamin E may suppress the development of aortic lesions in a rabbit model of atherosclerosis.”

“By comparing responses to acetylcholine in the 4 week cholesterol group with the 8 week cholesterol + vitamin E group it was shown that vitamin E may not only prevent further deterioration of the endothelial function in the rabbit heart, but may also reverse the adverse effects of hypercholesterolaemia.”

“ Vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopherol acetate) can inhibit collagen production in rabbit corneal keratocytes in vitro when incubated in the absence of serum.”

“The α tocopherol and retinol content were enhanced in both muscles of rabbit fed the natural mixture (SP1 and SP2 groups).”

“Adding Vitamin E to cholesterol-treated rabbits decreased the degree of vasospasm following SAH in the rabbit basilar artery SAH model.”

“ Vitamin E supplementation appears to be an effective way to improve the color and lipid stability of rabbit meat.”
