Do a medline search (www.nlm.nih.gov).

Vitamin E from the diet goes straight to the liver. The liver
stores it. When it releases vitamin E it either puts it out in
VLDL or releases it directly into blood using tocopherol
binding protein (s).

When VLDL is converted to LDL the vitamin E is still there.
When cells take up LDL they get both cholesterol and
vitamin E. The vitamin E in LDL appears to protect it from
oxidative damage.

If the LDL is damaged, oxidized LDL is formed. It's probably
this oxidized LDL that is responsible for plaque formation.

Vitamin E may protect against heart disease through this
mechanism. Vitamin C levels in the blood appear to help
vitamin E protect LDL from oxidative damage.

If you find any books which have been written by Dr. Shute ..
it will be a good start. He and his brother worked with
vitamin E for years and his work is the work to read.

Do a medline search (www.nlm.nih.gov).

All dietary vitamin E goes to the liver where it is stored.
Some gets released in VLDL. When the VLDL gets converted to
LDL, cells that take up LDL get both cholesterol and
vitamin E.

In medline you are going to find a lot of research on vitamin
E protecting LDL from oxidation and this protection is
believed to be part of the process invovled in vitamin E
protection from heart disease.

Do the searches as others have suggested. The biochemical
evidence suggests that E should be protective of heart
disease. The human epidemiology has been equivocal at best.

From what I recall, a distinction being made is heart disease
protection after long-term use of vitamin E by healthy people;
and use *after* an adverse heart event for ongoing protection.
The former may have value, the second less so.

Here, is a classic example of a person trying to control the
outcome of his question by limiting the scope of the responses
to only the latest information. He doesn't want your opinions.
He just wants to the resuts of the latest research studies.

This person is arrogant. And, he also admits to not knowing
the first thing about researching topics either on the web or
in Medline.

Arrogant and Ignorant always goes hand and hand with academia.
I wonder why?

The latest noise on vitamin e is that it does *not* protect
against heart disease.

  >Vitamin E from the diet goes straight to the liver. The liver
  >stores it.

After intestinal absorption and transport with chylomicrons,
tocopherols are mostly transferred to the parenchymal cells
of the liver, with a transfer protein that is specific for
d-alpha-tocopherol, where most of the fat-soluble Vitamin E
is stored.

I question however if you can characterize it as storage.

The liver rather than the intestine is where the body
discriminates between d-alpha-tocopherol and
d-gamma-tocopherol. The d-alpha-tocopherol form of Vitamin E
is reused, but d-gamma-tocopherol is NOT. The liver, however,
secretes all the d-gamma-tocopherol into the bile.
d-alpha-tocopherol is continually being recycled by the liver.

But, my sources of information intakes that the half-life of
d-gamma-tocopherol is only about 12 hours, while
d-alpha-tocopherol might hang around for several days, at best
(i.e., the d-alpha-tocopherol form of Vitamin E is considered
to have the highest biological activity).

If the liver truly stored vitamin E, it would be possible to
over dosage on it, like vitamin A.

Thanx, that's just what I've been hoping to find. I kept
seeing refs- to those Shute bros., but haven't found much info
on the net. Appreciate it!

Lot's of vit-E info at www.lef.org also: www.findarticles.com

Has anyone here looked into the clinical studies closely?
Apropos of that recent post, I'd be curious about the use of
synthetic or natural vitamin E. I'm not interested enough to
do it myself, but if anyone has already looked into that, I'd
like to know what they found.
