PERFORMANCE

Vitamin E acts as a peroxyl radical scavenger, preventing the propagation of free radicals in tissues, by reacting with them to form a tocopheryl radical, which will then be reduced by a hydrogen donor (such as vitamin C) and thus return to its reduced state.

As an enzymatic activity regulator, for instance, protein kinase C (PKC), which plays a role in smooth muscle growth, can be inhibited by α-tocopherol.

Vitamin E also affects gene expression. Macrophages rich in cholesterol are found in the atherogenetic tissue.

Vitamin E also plays a role in neurological functions and inhibition of platelet aggregation.

Vitamin E also protects lipids and prevents the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and supports the immune system. In animal bodies, it helps in maintaining healthy muscles, nerves, and reproductive functions. It also plays a role in the prevention of certain diseases and supports overall animal health. Additionally, Vitamin E is essential for the proper functioning of the animal's immune system, which helps in disease resistance.
