Description

a-Tocopheryl succinate is a fat-soluble vitamin that is an antioxidant and can be found in a wide range of foods. It has been shown to have dose-dependent effects on mitochondrial respiratory control, membranes and liver mitochondria. The mechanism of action for this drug is still uncertain, but it may act by reducing oxidative stress in the cells. Animal studies have shown that a-tocopherol succinate can increase glutathione levels in the liver mitochondrial membranes and isolated rat liver mitochondria. This drug also has been shown to reduce mitochondrial protein oxidation and improve mitochondrial function in rats with diabetes, which may be due to its ability to improve glucose metabolism.
