Vitamin E - High Yield Review

In this video I have done a high yeild review on tocopherol the vitamin E. Vitamin E is a collective term for tocopherols and tocotrienols. Alpha tocopherol is biologically most active form of tocopherol and is a powerful reactive oxygen species scavenger, that is tocopherol has antioxidant property. tocopherol prevents lipid peroxidation. it prevents LDL oxidation and thereby atherosclerosis. Deficiency of tocopherol is seen in lipid malabsorption disorders like cystic fibrosis. Tocopherol deficiency leads to spinocerebellar ataxia, hemolytic anemia, skelatal myopathy, retinopathy, polyneuropathy.
