  • Vitamin E and K interactions : investigating mechanisms of reduced vitamin K status in response to excess vitamin E

    Creator:
    Farley, Sherry Mae
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of my studies was to elucidate the mechanisms for the well-recognized interaction between two nutrients, vitamins E and K. The outcomes from my studies assess mechanisms for adverse effects of vitamin E and provide novel information on mechanisms for vitamin K homeostasis. These findings will provide information...

  • Sesame oil increases plasma γ-tocopherol and inhibits γ-tocopherol metabolism in humans

    Creator:
    Lee, Sangeun
    Abstract:
    In rats, sesame lignans increase plasma γ-tocopherol concentrations and inhibit γ-tocopherol degradation to its metabolite γ-carboxyethylhydroxychroman (γ-CEHC). To test if sesame lignan consumption inhibits γ- tocopherol metabolism in humans, muffins prepared with either corn oil (control) or sesame oil and an equimolar mixture of deuterium labeled d6-α- and d2-γ- tocopheryl...
