Die Bedeutung von Vitamin E als Antioxidans

Ute Obermüller-Jević

Vitamin E ist bekannt als das wichtigste fettlösliche Antioxidans im Menschen. In Lipoproteinen, Zellmembranen und im Fettgewebe nimmt es eine führende Rolle bei der Abwehr von oxidativem Stress ein. Dabei wirkt es als „chain-breaking“ Antioxidans und hemmt spezifisch Kettenreaktionen der Lipid-Peroxidation. Darüber hinaus redox-reguliert Vitamin E Signaltransduktion, Genexpression, Enzymaktivitäten und Metabolismus.
