Serum alpha tocopherol concentrations and cholesterol ester fatty acid composition in 70-year-old men reflect those 20 years earlier
Article Abstract:
The serum fatty acid composition and tocopherol content of men are similar at 50 and 70 yrs of age showing that individuals in this age group do not change the quality of their dietary fat. The serum alpha tocopherol levels and the fatty acid composition are significantly related to vitamin intake and dietary fat quality. The ratio of serum cholesterol ester fatty acids is positively related between 50 and 70 yrs. The study shows that the tocopherol concentrations and the fatty acid composition are biologically reproducible over 20 yrs and can be used to study susceptibility to diseases with age.

Predictors of adipose tissue tocopherol and toenail selenium levels in nine countries: the EURAMIC study
Article Abstract:
Antioxidant levels, namely adipose tissue alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, and toenail selenium levels, are lower in men than in women. The independent predictors of adipose tissue alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol levels in men are waist circumference and waist/hip ratio, respectively. However, no such predictors are found for women. Toenail selenium predictors are smoking and coffee use for men, and smoking for women.
