Bioactivity | (±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate, vitamin E - nicotinate, is an orally active fat-soluble antioxidant that prevents lipid peroxidation in cell membranes. (±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate is hydrolysed in the blood to α -tocopherol and niacin and may be used in studies of related vascular diseases[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | (±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate can help slow the progression of microangiopathy in type 2 diabetics by reducing lipid peroxidation stress in the red blood cell membrane, improving blood rheology and red blood cell deformability[1].(±)-α-Tocopherol nicotinate (Vitamin E) (2 μg/mL, 24 h) increases the proportion of CD4+CD8-T cells in thymocytes by pretreating the thymic epithelial cell line IT45-R1 and then incubating it with immature T cells[2]. | ||||||||||||
