Abstract
The transport of 2R,4'R,8'-alpha-tocopherol and 2S,4'R,8'R-alpha-tocopherol from plasma into rat red blood cell membranes occurs with essentially no chiral discrimination. The previously demonstrated (10) preference of red blood cell membranes favoring 2R,4'R,8'R-alpha-tocopherol over the 2S,4'R,8'R stereoisomer is shown to be due to better retention of the former compound, i.e., to preferential retention of natural vitamin E.Entities:
