“With a daily average dietary intake of about 9.4 mg of total tocopherols , a progressive decline in blood levels of tocopherol from 1.42 to 0.81 mg/100 ml was observed in the five control subjects.”

“Beside this, α-tocopherol shows anti-inflammatory activity and modulates expression of proteins involved in uptake, transport and degradation of tocopherols , as well as the uptake, storage and export of lipids such as cholesterol.”
“As previously described, the subcutaneous administration of tocopherols , compared with oral administration, results in rapid elevation of tocopherol levels (a few days compared with weeks) (12).”

“Supplementation with 0.2% δ-T , γ-T, or α-T increased the respective levels of tocopherols and their side-chain degradation metabolites in the serum and colon tissues.”
“As expected, α-Tocopherol treatment increased levels of total tocopherols in post- vs pre-treatment specimens (57 vs 18 μg/mL in plasma, and 42 vs 10 μg/mL in platelets).”
“It has been proposed that mixed tocopherols as found in nature may be more tissue protective than alpha-tocopherol alone found in commercial preparations.”
