• Description: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is important for antioxidant protection. It is classified as a lipid-soluble antioxidant and plays an important role in the prevention of cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species. Vitamin E has been shown to have anti-cancer properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit tumor cell growth by interfering with the production of reactive oxygen species. The enzyme activities of alpha-tocopherol acetate in a model system were studied and found to be related to the mitochondrial membrane potential, as well as the synthesis of dinucleotide phosphate. This compound has also been shown to scavenge anion radicals, which are involved in infectious diseases.
