Biochemical effects of vitamin E supplementation in rats. The groups treated with α-TOH (α-tocopherol) supplementation resulted in reduced levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrites, and cholinesterase, in addition to preventing the loss of glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) when compared to non-supplemented animals, which had a decrease in GSH/GSSG and Catalase (Illustration performed by Dr. Francisco Irochima).
