Mixed Tocopherols and Lipid Peroxidation
Studies suggest that mixed tocopherols have a stronger inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation than alpha-tocopherol alone, indicating a more potent antioxidant effect.
Gamma-Tocopherol and Cyclooxygenase Inhibition
Research indicates that gamma-tocopherol inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, whereas alpha-tocopherol does not appear to have a significant effect on this enzyme.
Mixed Tocopherols and DNA Protection
Human studies comparing diets supplemented with gamma- and alpha-tocopherols to diets supplemented primarily with only alpha-tocopherol found more DNA protection in the mixed-tocopherol group.
