[Effect of alimentary alpha-tocopherol deficiency on the fatty acid composition of phospholipids in the subcellular membranes of the liver cells and high density lipoproteins in the blood plasma].

In experiments on rats a positive correlation was demonstrated between the changes in the fatty-acid composition of hepatocytic intracellular membrane phospholipids and blood plasma high density lipoproteins. The data obtained evidence the existence in the blood of several mechanisms of alpha-tocopherol deficiency action on hepatocytic phospholipids and blood plasma protein-lipid complexes.
