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.
Let me introduce myself to you!!

- I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!
