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.
Understanding cellular metabolic process will help us to understand the disease process when some metabolic events go wrong!! With this blog I would like to share my medical biochemistry knowledge with you!!!
