    Product Description

    (±)-α-Tocopherol acetate is an acetate form of (±)-α-tocopherol (Item No. 25985).1 It inhibits heat-stress-induced decreases in blastocyst number in pregnant mice and glutathione (GSH) levels in isolated mouse zygotes in a model of hyperthermia-induced pre-implantation embryonic death when administered at a dose of 1 g/kg. Dietary administration of (±)-α-tocopherol acetate (1,050 IU/kg) prevents sidestream cigarette smoke-induced decreases in body weight and lung dynamic compliance and increases in lung resistance in mice. It also increases IL-1β, IL-4, and IFN-γ levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in the same model.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
