Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several natural vitamin E analogues are present in plants in various amounts, but only one of them, RRR-α-tocopherol, is enriched during uptake from the diet and considered essential. The other vitamin E analogues are less bioavailable and considered nonessential but nevertheless can influence human and animal health by modulating signalling and gene expression in antioxidant and non-antioxidant manners. These activities of vitamin E analogues contribute to the preventive effects against several diseases that often have an inflammatory component, including cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and liver diseases (e.g., Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH)).
In this Special Issue in the journal Antioxidants, the molecular mechanisms by which vitamin E and its analogues and metabolites may have an impact on disease prevention and human health are reviewed. The significance of vitamin E in food is also included in the scope.
