    disease, and that further investigation of the potential interactions between vitamin E and particular drugs was warranted

    to beta lipoproteins. It is widely distributed to all tissues, and stored in adipose tissue. Some vitamin E is metabolized in the liver 10 glucuronides of tocopheronic acid and its y-lactone.
