Urinary α-carboxyethyl hydroxychroman can be used as a predictor of α-tocopherol adequacy, as demonstrated in the Energetics Study.
BACKGROUND Other than the in vitro erythrocyte hemolysis test, no valid biomarkers of vitamin E status currently exist. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that the urinary vitamin E metabolite α-carboxyethyl hydroxychroman (α-CEHC) could serve as a biomarker. DESIGN The relations between urinary α-CEHC, plasma α-tocopherol, and vitamin E intakes were assessed by using a previously validated multipas...
متن کاملAlpha-tocopherol: looking beyond an antioxidant
Vitamin E is an important natural antioxidant, and its most common and biologically active form is alpha-tocopherol. In addition to this, specific regulatory effects of vitamin E have been revealing. The body exerts a certain effort to regulate its tissue levels with specific tocopherol transport proteins and membrane receptors. Antiproliferative and protein kinase C-suppressing effects of alph...

متن کاملCan standardized patients replace physicians as OSCE examiners?
BACKGROUND To reduce inter-rater variability in evaluations and the demand on physician time, standardized patients (SP) are being used as examiners in OSCEs. There is concern that SP have insufficient training to provide valid evaluation of student competence and/or provide feedback on clinical skills. It is also unknown if SP ratings predict student competence in other areas. The objectives o...
