  • Title: Effect of protein deficiency on absorption, transport and distribution of alpha-tocopherol in the rat.
    Author: Rajaram OV, Fatterpaker P, Sreenivasan A.
    Journal: Br J Nutr; 1977 Mar; 37(2):157-65. PubMed ID: 192264.
    Abstract:
    The absorption, transport and distribution of alpha-[3H]tocopherol were greatly decreased in protein deficiency. This was reflected in the subcellular distribution of alpha-[3H]tocopherol in livers of protein-deficient rats. The ratio, bound:free for alpha-[3H]tocopherol, also decreased in both serum and liver cytosol. After protein refeeding, absorption, transport and distribution patterns of alpha-[3H]tocopherol for the protein-deficient rats were restored to patterns similar to those of control animals.
