Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient found in many foods
It is involved in immune function, cell signaling, regulation of gene expression, and other metabolic processes
Vitamin E stops the production of ROS formed when fat undergoes oxidation
The body needs vitamin E to boost its immune system so that it can fight off invading bacteria and viruses.
In addition, cells use vitamin E to interact with each other and to carry out many important functions.
Alpha-tocopherol inhibits the activity of protein kinase C, an enzyme involved in cell proliferation and differentiation in smooth muscle cells, platelets, and monocytes.
Vitamin E helps to widen blood vessels and keep blood from clotting within them.
It does this by increasing the expression of two enzymes that suppress arachidonic acid metabolism, thereby increasing the release of prostacyclin from the endothelium, which, in turn, dilates blood vessels and inhibits platelet aggregation
Vitamin E helps blood vessels so that they are better able to resist blood-cell components adhering to this surface.
“Vitamin E” is the collective name for a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities
