Description
A form of vitamin E with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; traps and detoxifies reactive nitrogen oxide species, including nitrogen dioxide, in cell-free assays; reduces PGE2 synthesis induced by LPS in RAW 264.7 macrophages and by IL-1β in A549 cells (IC50s = 7.5 and 4 μM, respectively); inhibits LPS-induced nitrite release and iNOS expression in RAW 264.7 cells at 10 μM and reduces COX-2 activity in A549 cells pretreated with IL-1β; serum levels are decreased in patients with cardiovascular disease
