Research Project:
QUANTIFICATION OF IN VIVO ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL METABOLISM IN HUMANS
Location: Food Components and Health Laboratory
Project Number: 1235-51000-046-03
Project Type:
Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 01, 2007
End Date: Aug 31, 2010
Objective:
To quantify absorption and relative utilization efficiency of different forms of alpha-tocopherol.
Approach:
In a clinical study, volunteers will consume labeled alpha-tocopherol, then provide blood, urine, and fecal samples for several weeks. Resulting kinetic curves will be analyzed by mathematical modeling.
