Vitamin E is the major lipid-soluble antioxidant in the cell antioxidant system and is exclusively obtained from the diet. Vitamin E protects polyunsaturated fatty acids and other components of cell membranes and low-density lipoproteins from oxidation by free radicals. It is located primarily within the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes. The most important form is α -tocopherol. Clinical signs of deﬁciency occur very rarely [1].

Vitamin E, primarily -tocopherol, protects cell membranes and low-density lipoproteins from oxidation by free radicals, with rare clinical signs of deficiency.
