title: Tocopherol levels in the plasma lipoproteins from Japanese eel Anguilla japonica.
abstract: The alpha- and gamma-tocopherol levels in the plasma of Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) were 53.9 micrograms and 1.3 micrograms/ml of plasma, respectively. The alpha-tocopherol in the plasma was mainly distributed as very-low-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), while LDL and high-density lipoprotein constituted most of the gamma-tocopherol. A highly positive coefficient of correlation was observed between the alpha-tocopherol and lipoprotein contents in Japanese eel plasma.
