Abstract

The alpha- and gamma-tocopherol levels in the plasma of Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) were 53.9 micrograms and 1.3 micrograms/ml of plasma, respectively. The alpha-tocopherol in the plasma was mainly distributed as very-low-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), while LDL and high-density lipoprotein constituted most of the gamma-tocopherol. A highly positive coefficient of correlation was observed between the alpha-tocopherol and lipoprotein contents in Japanese eel plasma.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
