The protective association between dietary flavonoid intake and the risk of dementia has been the focus of yet another study; this one being published...
Vitamin E supplementation was previously reported to improve liver histology in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which is a manifestation of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). α-tocopherol bioavailability in healthy adults is higher than in those with MetS, thereby suggesting that the latter group has increased requirements. In populations with MetS-associated hepatic dysfunction, impaired α-tocopherol trafficking is likely. The α-tocopherol catabolites α-carboxyethyl hydroxychromanol (α-CEHC) and α-carboxymethylbutyl hydroxychromanol (α-CMBHC) are useful biomarkers of α-tocopherol status. During the first 24 h, participants with MetS excreted 41% less α-CEHC, 63% less hexadeuterium-labeled (d6)-α-CEHC, and 58% less d6‑α‑CMBHC, and had 52% lower plasma d6-α-CEHC areas under the concentration curves compared with healthy adults. It was concluded that in populations with MetS-associated hepatic dysfunction impaired α-tocopherol trafficking is likely, thus making these patients prime candidates for supplementation.
