Vitamin E shows mixed effects
Effect of atherosclerosis and the protective effect of the antioxidant vitamin E on the rabbit cerebellum.
Research relevance unclear
We examined the effects of vitamin E on atherosclerosis in the cerebellum of rabbits. In this study, forty rabbits were split into four groups, where specific groups received vitamin E alongside regular diets or added cholesterol.

The results revealed that cholesterol-treated rabbits experienced significant damage, evident through decreased fiber density and changes in brain cell structure. Surprisingly, while vitamin E showed some protective traits by reducing these changes, its overall impact on atherosclerosis was inconclusive.

NATOH effectively combats atherosclerosis
A novel nitroalkene-α-tocopherol analogue inhibits inflammation and ameliorates atherosclerosis in Apo E knockout mice.
High relevance for inflammation research.
We investigated a new compound called NATOH, which combines vitamin E with properties of natural anti-inflammatory agents.

In our study, we tested its effects in mice prone to atherosclerosis, specifically those lacking the Apo E gene.

We found that NATOH not only mimicked the antioxidant abilities of vitamin E but also significantly reduced inflammation and improved atherosclerosis conditions in these mice.

This suggests that NATOH could be a promising option for preventing atherosclerosis in future clinical applications.

Vitamin E effect on atherosclerosis
The effect of tocopheryl phosphates (TPM) on the development of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein-E deficient mice.
High relevance for cardiovascular health
We investigated how a form of vitamin E, tocopheryl phosphate (TPM), impacts the development of atherosclerosis using apolipoprotein-E deficient mice. By comparing TPM with traditional vitamin E, we found that TPM significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesions and inflammation indicators.

Mice receiving TPM experienced up to a 44% reduction in lesions. In contrast, those on a standard vitamin E supplement showed no significant benefits.

Overall, our findings suggest that TPM may help slow down the progression of artery hardening, primarily by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Effective for headaches
Good for stiff shoulders and headaches. Vitamin E enhances blood flow in vessels, improves circulation, lowers cholesterol, and alleviates headaches, stiff shoulders, chills, and arteriosclerosis. I take it daily for my headaches and stiff shoulders.

Daily usage recommended
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with a robust antioxidant effect, which inhibits lipid oxidation. It prevents arteriosclerosis and blood clots, lowers blood pressure, and reduces LDL cholesterol while maintaining healthy cell membranes. I take it daily based on the information provided.

Vitamin E may improve heart health
Attenuation of atherogenic apo B-48-dependent hyperlipidemia and high density lipoprotein remodeling induced by vitamin C and E combination and their beneficial effect on lethal ischemic heart disease in mice.
Presents potential health implications
We explored the potential benefits of combining vitamins C and E on heart health in mice with arteriosclerosis. By monitoring mice on an atherogenic diet, we found that this combination significantly lowered unhealthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

The vitamins supported better function in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), reducing inflammation markers and helping to remodel HDL particles. This suggests a cardioprotective effect and improved overall health in the studied mice. However, the implications for human health remain unclear.

Vitamin E and cardiovascular disease studied
Comparative efficacy of tocotrienol and tocopherol (vitamin E) on atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in humans.
High relevance due to significant findings
We examined the effectiveness of tocotrienol and tocopherol, two forms of vitamin E, in treating atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Our systematic review analyzed studies published between 2002 and early 2023 to evaluate their safety and health benefits.

Tocotrienol emerged as a promising option, significantly lowering cholesterol and markers of inflammation. In contrast, tocopherol's results were mixed and potentially indicated increased mortality risk. This evidence positions tocotrienol as a safer alternative for improving cardiovascular health.

Vitamin E shows promise in atherosclerosis
[Effect of an antioxidant on vascular wall cell apoptosis markers after reconstructive operations].
High relevance score observed.
We examined the impact of vitamin E on patients with severe lower limb atherosclerosis after reconstructive surgery.

Sixty patients were divided into two groups: one received vitamin E daily for a month, while the other followed standard therapy.

After treatment, we found that vitamin E significantly reduced the level of the harmful Bax protein and raised the protective Bcl-2 protein.

This suggests that vitamin E could enhance recovery by balancing apoptosis markers in these patients.

Antioxidant properties noted
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties, preventing lipid oxidation in the body. It also aids in preventing arteriosclerosis and blood clots, lowers blood pressure, reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol, and maintains healthy cell membranes, thereby helping to avert age-related diseases. For this reason, I use it regularly.

Lowers blood viscosity
Vitamin E enhances arteriosclerosis and decreases blood viscosity, normalising blood pressure. Hence, I take it every day.
