Background: Little is know about the effects of supplementation with different forms of vitamin E (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-tocopherol; AT, BT, GT, DT) on plasma and buccal mucosal cell (BMC) concentrations. The aim of this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study was to compare the effects of supplementation with mixed tocopherols (MT; containing 60% GT, 24% DT, 14% AT, and 2% BT) and AT alone on vitamin E concentrations in plasma and BMC. Methods: Healthy male subjects, n=81, 18–45yrs, were randomly assigned to take increasing doses (36.8, 73.5, 147 or 294mg/d) of MT or 294mg/d AT or placebo for 4…
