Vitamin E is an important dietary constituent which helps in the
defence against cellular damage. The process of its absorption from
food and its utilization by the body is an intricate series of
reactions. It is also used therapeutically in treating numerous
diseases and conditions such as skin damage and the prevention of
pathological lesions in major organs, and has been shown to be an
important factor in preventing heart disease and cancer. Over 100
chapters from international contributors make this book the most
comprehensive reference work in describing both the positive and
negative effects and actions of Vitamin E. Chapters are divided
into subsections which cover: nomenclature, biochemical, physical
and chemical aspects of vitamn E related compounds; dietary and
nutritional influences and effects; cocktails, anti-oxidants
mixtures and novel analogues; general physiological systems,
metabolism and metabolic stress; brain, neurological and optical
systems; reproductive systems, fetus and infant; musculo-skeletal
systems and exercise; cardiovascular and pulmonary systems; skin;
hepatic, nephrotic and gastrointestinal systems; immune and
haematological systems and cancer.
