Abstract

Over the past few years, quantitative determination of α-and γ-CEHC, main urinary metabolites of vitamin E, has been becoming more and more important as a key parameter in assessing oxidative stress and supplementation of tocopherols. The use of deuterated analogues of these metabolites allows their accurate determination even in complex matrixes. While preparation of γ-CEHC-d 2 has already been described, here we report ...
