γ-CEHC EIA Kit (plasma and serum)

Synonyms : 2,7,8-trimethyl-2-(β-Carboxy-Ethyl)-6-Hydroxychroman ELISA Kit
Stability : 6 months
Description :
Tocopherols and tocotrienols are forms of vitamin E that have antioxidative properties. γ-Tocopherol is the most abundant form of vitamin E in the diet. Its metabolite, γ-CEHC (2,7,8-trimethyl-2-(β-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman), is produced in the liver by the action of cytochrome P450 enzymes and excreted in urine at levels that exceed all other tocopherol metabolites. In plasma, γ-tocopherol has the ability to trap nitric oxide radicals, and both γ-tocopherol and γ-CEHC inhibit cyclooxygenase activity in macrophages and epithelial cells. Thus, the concentration of γ-tocopherol in plasma could be indicative of events related to cardiovascular disease and cancer.
