<h4>Scope</h4>The objective of this study was to investigate the initial catabolic step of vitamin E and K metabolism, the ω-hydroxylation by human cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2).<h4>Methods and results</h4>Tocopherol (T) metabolism was compared using rat liver slices incubated with deuterated (d₆)-RRR-α-T (d₆-α-T), racemic 2S-α-T (2S, 4'RS, 8'RS α-T, 2S-α-T), or d₂-γ-T (d₂-γ-T). Following comparable uptake of each T by liver slices, twice as much 13'-OH-T was produced from 2S-α-T or d₂-γ-T (39 ± ...[more]
