متن کاملUrinary 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...
