Study on the Physiological Function of a - Tocopherol, Vitamin (E) on Lipoproteins Levels in Serum of Apparantly Healthy Individuals

Abstract

The  role  of  free  radicals  generation  and  Lipid  Peroxidation

during the course of ischemic heart disease is well establshed as a basic for Pthogenesis and subsequent tissue damage consequenes . In an attempt to shed a light on the possible relationship between lipid peroxidation and some antioxidant.

The effect of vitamine E  (as a potent antioxidant free radical scavenger) . On the serum levels of the Lipoproteins, (HDLc) High Density Lipoprotein , (LDLc) Low Density Lipoprotein and (VLDLc) very Low Density Lipoprotein in healthy donors.

The  study  includes  (50) healthy  donors  from  males  and  females  ,

who  had  given Vitamin  E    (400 Ul) daily  for one month  and were divided into two groups.

1. Group (A): includes (25) males donors (20-40) years old, befor

and after giving Vitamin E.

1. Group (B): includes (25) females donors (20-40)  years , befor

and after giving Vitamin E.

The  Level  of  Lipoproteins  (HDLc),  (LDLc),  (VLDLc)  and (LDLc)/ (HDLc)was determ ed in sera of healthy donors.

The results of study indicated and confirmed  the role of Vitamin

(E) in reducing of (LDLc) Level, while an increase in (HDLc) level after Vitarnine (E) ingestion for the healthy donors .
