Tocopherol mobilization during intensive exercise.
This work shows that the level of plasma tocopherol (vitamin E) which has free radical scavenging properties rises significantly during intensive exercise. It is proposed that mobilization of tocopherol could help to prevent lipoperoxidation phenomena occurring in exercising skeletal muscle. A hypothetical mechanism relating to a lipolysis effect is discussed to explain this mobilization.
