Contents: Vitamin E or tocopherol's physiological molecular mechanism helps to understand protection against disease -- Not an antioxidant or free radical quencher, they perform cell signaling by affecting protein phosphorylation (for instance protein kinase C and PI3 kinase) -- They can be phosphorylated to more potent species, the tocopheryl phosphates -- Tocopheryl phosphates protect, in animal models against atherosclerosis.
