The process of its absorption from food and its utilisation by the body is an intricate series of reactions. It is also used therapeutically in treating numerous diseases and conditions such as skin damage and the prevention of pathological lesions in major organs, and has been shown to be an important factor in preventing heart disease and cancer. Over 100 chapters from international contributors make this book the most comprehensive reference work in describing both the positive and negative eff 606 $aVitamin E -- Encyclopedias -- English 606 $aVitamin E -- Encyclopedias 606 $aVitamin E 606 $aVitamin E$vEncyclopedias 606 $aPublication Formats 606 $aBenzopyrans 606 $aPyrans 606 $aPublication Characteristics 606 $aHeterocyclic Compounds, 2-Ring 606 $aHeterocyclic Compounds 606 $aChemicals and Drugs 606 $aEncyclopedias 606 $aVitamin E 606 $aHuman Anatomy & Physiology$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aAnimal Biochemistry$2HILCC 615 4$aVitamin E -- Encyclopedias -- English. 615 4$aVitamin E -- Encyclopedias. 615 4$aVitamin E. 615 0$aVitamin E 615 2$aPublication Formats 615 2$aBenzopyrans 615 2$aPyrans 615 2$aPublication Characteristics 615 2$aHeterocyclic Compounds, 2-Ring 615 2$aHeterocyclic Compounds 615 2$aChemicals and Drugs 615 2$aEncyclopedias 615 2$aVitamin E 615 7$aHuman Anatomy & Physiology 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 615 7$aAnimal Biochemistry 676 $a612.399 700 $aPreedy$0991407 701 $aWatson$0991408 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910446331603321 996 $aEncyclopedia of Vitamin E$92268829 997 $aUNINA
