Vitamin E isoforms are essential nutrients that are widely used as dietary supplements and therapeutic agents for a variety of diseases. However, their pharmacokinetic (PK) properties remain poorly characterized, and high dosage animal studies may provide further information on their in vivo functions and pharmacological effects. In this study, alpha-tocopherol (α-toc) and delta-tocopherol (δ-t...

During drinking water treatment, chlorine reacts with total organic carbon (TOC) to form disinfection byproducts (DBP), some of which can be carcinogenic. Additional treatment required to remove TOC before chlorination significantly increases treatment cost. There are two main sources of TOC in a water supply reservoir: (1) the watershed draining to the reservoir, and (2) the internal loading w...

The aim of the study was to clarify 1) the distribution of 6 α-tocopherol (α-Toc)-associated gene expressions in 20 major tissues, including metabolic, reproductive, endocrine, immune, and digestive and absorptive tissues, in relation to α-Toc status and 2) the change in expression patterns of the genes induced when α-Toc was orally administered to Japanese Black (JB) calves. This study examine...

We analyzed relations between the content of total organic carbon (TOC) and the content of soil organic matter (SOM) in 47 soil profiles dug out in dry coniferous forests, fresh coniferous forests, and mixed deciduous-coniferous forests. Soils in the analyzed sites are derived from sands. In each soil horizon, bulk density (BD), pH, soil texture, and TOC and SOM were determined. Correlation bet...

We conducted experiments to elucidate the mechanism by which alpha-tocopherol (alpha-toc) concentration in the liver remarkably increases in rats treated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) when excess amounts of DL-alpha-tocopheryl-acetate (alpha-toc-ac) were given. First, diets containing 5 and 50 mg of alpha-toc-ac per 100 g were respectively added with 0.05% of PCB and given to rats for 10...

We examined the use of dC, TOC and C/N geochemistry of sedimentary organic matter to reconstruct former sea levels and paleoenvironments in the absence of suitable microfossil data. The modern distribution of dC, TOC and C/N of 33 vegetation and 74 surface sediment samples collected from four coastal wetlands in the Thames Estuary and Norfolk, UK are described. The dC, TOC and C/N geochemistry ...

We have previously reported that gamma-tocopherol (gamma-Toc) displays a natriuretic potency in rats fed a NaCl diet and administered 20 mg gamma-Toc. In this study, we investigated whether gamma-Toc has natriuretic potency at a dose lower or higher than 20 mg in rats given a NaCl diet. Male rats were fed a control diet or a NaCl diet and administered either placebo or 10, 20 or 40 mg of gamma-...
