Potential Effects of Dietary Vitamin E in Laboratory Animal Diets on Results Obtained in Models of Disease

  • Chapter
Free Radicals, Oxidative Stress, and Antioxidants

Abstract

This chapter will demonstrate the importance of vitamin E dietary supplements on cell functions, on different biomedical systems, and on diverse pathophysiological conditions, with special emphasis being placed on cardiovascular pathophysiology. These effects are presented as a rationale for the use of vitamin E supplements in diets of farm animals, pets, and also of laboratory animals. The latter point gives reason for considerable problems, which are discussed in the last chapter of this article.
