Possible Interaction: Vitamin E and Sunflower Oil

“PQQ.… vitamin E … oxidized sunflower oil diet induced elevation of liver weight (P=0.026), liver to BW ratio (P=0.001) and plasma activities of alanine aminotransferase (…=0.001) and aspartate aminotransferase (P<0.001) and maintained these indices at the similar levels to the fresh oil diet.”

“The increase of fat content (31%) in the diet due to the presence of vitamin E in sunflower-seed oil automatically lead to 1,7-fold increase consumption of this vitamin compared to the control group.”

“Results: There was a modest increase in ED50, the dose expected to cause mucositis in 50% of the animals after both α‐tocopherol and sunflower oil were administered.”

“An … vitamin E … sunflower oil shown by a linear increase in the content of saturated fatty acids in the spermatozoa and a linear reduction in the C18: … PUFA (C18 : 2omega6 + C20 : 4omega6) contents in the spermatozoa at 48-51 weeks and in sperm volume at 52 weeks of age.”

“Inclusion of oxidised sunflower oil significantly reduced dietary and hence, muscle alpha-tocopherol concentrations.”

“Concentrations of alpha-tocopherol in tissues of chicks fed on HSO and HSE were significantly lower than those of chicks fed on FSO.”

“HIGHLIGHTS The analogous effect between sunflower hull extract and α-tocopherol give it the potency to allow substitution at a … 0.5% of sunflower hull ethyl acetate or 1% of lupine hull ethanol extract instead of 0.5% α- ocopherol to enhance induction periods … protection factors of sun flower oil. ”

“The α tocopherol concentration increases linearly in olive oil adulterated with sunflower oil.”
