Gamma tocopherol-enriched supplement reduces sputum eosinophilia and endotoxin-induced sputum neutrophilia in volunteers with asthma

摘要

Background: We and others have shown that the gamma tocopherol (gamma T) isoform of vitamin E has multiple anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions and that gamma T supplementation reduces eosinophilic and endotoxin (LPS)-induced neutrophilic airway inflammation in animal models and healthy human volunteers.
