Different tocopherol isoforms vary in capacity to scavenge free radicals, prevent inflammatory response, and induce apoptosis in both adult‐ and fetal‐derived intestinal epithelial cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gamma-tocopherol (γ-Toc) and δ-Toc are two vitamin E isoforms for which biological activities are not well established, yet these isoforms are present in many different sources of vegetable oils and, therefore, contribute significantly to the total dietary intake of vitamin E. Infant formula also contains relatively high amounts of γ-Toc and δ-Toc, compared with that found in human milk. The efficacy of γ-Toc and δ-Toc to modulate cellular events that include oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis-mediated cytotoxicity, relative to α-Toc, was determined using differentiated Caco-2 and primary FHs 74 Int cells intestinal epithelial cell lines. Antioxidant capacity of Toc-isoforms followed the order of δ-Toc > γ-Toc > α-Toc against peroxyl radical-induced membrane oxidation in both Caco-2 and FHs 74 Int cells, respectively. The different Toc-isoforms suppressed inflammatory response in interferon (IFN) γ/phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced Caco-2 adult-derived intestinal epithelial cells, but exacerbated both IL8 and PGE2 secretion in fetal-derived FHs 74 Int intestinal epithelial cells. Lastly, Toc exhibited an isoform-dependent apoptosis-mediated cytotoxicity, whereby δ-Toc elicited the greatest apoptosis followed by γ-Toc, whereas α-Toc was not cytotoxic. Cellular uptake of non-α-Toc isoforms were greater (P < 0.05) than that observed for α-Toc in both intestinal epithelial cell lines which in part explains the superior bioactive function observed for both γ-Toc and δ-Toc, compared with α-Toc. We conclude that the non-α-Toc isoforms of vitamin E have distinct roles that influence oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in both adult and fetal-derived intestinal epithelial cell lines.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
