Increased vitamin E intake is associated with higher [alpha]-tocopherol concentration in the maternal circulation but higher [alpha]-carboxyethyl hydroxychroman concentration in the fetal circulation

Increased vitamin E intake is associated with higher [alpha]-tocopherol concentration in the maternal circulation but higher [alpha]-carboxyethyl hydroxychroman concentration in the fetal circulation

The transfer of vitamin E across the placenta is limited, but no data exist on the concentrations of vitamin E metabolites carboxyethyl hydroxychromans (α- and ...-CEHCs) in the fetal circulation. We measured α- and ...-CEHC concentrations in maternal and umbilical cord blood pairs and examined thei...

Zusammenfassung:The transfer of vitamin E across the placenta is limited, but no data exist on the concentrations of vitamin E metabolites carboxyethyl hydroxychromans (α- and ...-CEHCs) in the fetal circulation. We measured α- and ...-CEHC concentrations in maternal and umbilical cord blood pairs and examined their relations to circulating vitamin E (α- and ...-tocopherol) and maternal dietary vitamin E intake. Healthy, pregnant women were enrolled from Oregon Health and Science University's obstetric clinic (
