Hello: Vitamin E was originally used to treat muscular dystrophy and habitual abortion. Later, it was found that vitamin E is an antioxidant in the body and has the effect of scavenging free radicals. & lt/P & gt; & ltP> When the body lacks vitamin E, the lipids (mainly unsaturated fatty acids) that make up the biofilm are easy to generate lipid peroxide (lpo). It leads to changes in the permeability of biofilm, rupture of cell membrane, and rupture of membrane structure (such as mitochondria and lysosomes) in cells, which leads to changes in cell metabolism and functional morphology, causing a series of aging symptoms, such as collagen crosslinking leading to contraction of connective tissue and wrinkles in skin. Lpo can also be polymerized with protein to form lipofuscin. & lt/P & gt; & ltP> When animals lack vitamin E, lipofuscin will accumulate in cells. After vitamin E is given, this brown pigment in brain tissue and other cells can be eliminated. It has been proved that the amount of lipofuscin in myocardial cells generally increases proportionally with age, and the lipofuscin deposited in myocardial cells every 10 year is about 0.3% of the weight of human heart. This may be related to the increase of heart disease in the elderly. & lt/P & gt; The deposition of lipofuscin in<P> cells will affect the normal function of cells and accelerate the aging process of tissues and cells. The use of antioxidants can prevent this aging process. Animal experiments show that vitamin E can prolong the average life span of animals and reduce the incidence of cancer, but it has no obvious effect on the maximum life span. & lt/P & gt; & ltP> With the increase of age, the content of vitamin E in human body gradually decreases, which leads to the continuous enhancement of lipid peroxidation and the aggravation of biofilm damage, and at the same time, muscle atrophy and degeneration, lipofuscin deposition and liver parenchyma atrophy and degeneration occur ... These changes are very similar to those occurring in the physiological aging process of corresponding tissues. & lt/P & gt; & ltP> Taking vitamin E for a long time can improve the general condition of human body, including the functional state of lymphatic system, skeletal muscle and cardiovascular system. The results also show that vitamin E, as a free radical scavenger, may also have the effect of preventing cataract formation.
The market price may be more than ten dollars, which is not expensive.
