Urinary excretion of 2,7,8-trimethyl-2-(β-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman is a major route of elimination of γ-tocopherol in humans
Little is known of the post-absorptive, metabolic fate of γ-tocopherol, the major form of vitamin E in North American diets. The objective of this study was to determine the extent of urinary excretion of 2,7,8-trimethyl-2-(β-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman (γ-CEHC), a recently identified metabolite...
