Category: vitamin

Aliases: Delta-tocopherol, Tocopherol, delta

Pharmacological Mechanism

A vitamin-E vitamer (8-methyl tocol) abundant in soybean and other vegetable oils, where it is a major natural antioxidant preservative. Strong radical-scavenging and anti-inflammatory activity in vitro; poorly retained in plasma owing to low α-tocopherol-transfer-protein affinity.
