Molecules having vitamin E antioxidant activity include four tocopherols (?, ?, ?, and ?) and four tocotrienols (?, ?, ?, and ?).{3679} ?-Tocopherol is the major lipid soluble antioxidant in vivo and protects against lipid peroxidation.{14207} ?-CEHC is the major urinary metabolite of ?-tocopherol following vitamin E supplementation.{9177} The concentration of ?-CEHC in human serum is in the range of 5-10 pmol/ml but increases significantly up to 200 pmol/ml upon supplementation with RRR-?-tocopherol. About one-third of the ?-CEHC circulating in the blood is present as a glucuronide conjugate.{14208} ?-CEHC was only excreted when a threshold concentration of 7-9 µmol ?-tocopherol/g total lipid in plasma was exceeded. Therefore, excretion of ?-CEHC may be considered to be a marker of optimum vitamin E intake.{14209}
