Tocopherols

Description:
Tocopherols, commonly known as vitamin E, are a group of fat-soluble compounds with antioxidant properties, primarily found in various plant oils, nuts, and green leafy vegetables. The CAS number 1406-66-2 specifically refers to alpha-tocopherol, the most biologically active form of vitamin E. Tocopherols are characterized by their ability to protect cell membranes from oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals. They possess a chromanol ring structure with a long phytyl side chain, which contributes to their hydrophobic nature. Tocopherols are essential for various physiological functions, including immune response and skin health. They are also involved in the regulation of gene expression and cellular signaling. In addition to their nutritional importance, tocopherols are widely used in the food and cosmetic industries as natural preservatives due to their antioxidant properties. Overall, tocopherols play a crucial role in maintaining health and preventing chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress.

    Tocopherols

    CAS:
    <p>Tocopherols are fat-soluble vitamins that belong to the family of tocopherols and tocotrienols. Tocopherols have a number of biochemical properties and antioxidant properties. These properties make them important for maintaining energy metabolism in cells, preventing oxidation of other molecules, and protecting the body from damage by reactive oxygen species. Tocopherols are found in a variety of biological sources such as plants, vegetable oils, nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables. The most common form is alpha-tocopherol (a-T). Other forms include gamma-tocopherol (g-T), delta-tocopherol (d-T), beta-tocopherol (b-T), and alpha-tocotrienol (a-TT). Biochemical assays for tocopherols and tocotrienols use p-hydroxybenzoic acid as an analytical reagent. This vitamin can be found in human serum or in</p>
