Absence of VLDL secretion does not affect α-tocopherol content in peripheral tissues
α-Tocopherol is a lipid-soluble antioxidant that helps to prevent oxidative damage to cellular lipids. α-Tocopherol is absorbed by the intestine and is taken up and retained by the liver; it is widely presumed that α-tocopherol is then delivered to peripheral tissues by the secretion of VLDL.
