Summary

Despite the emerging interest in tocotrienols, the absorption of tocotrienols in humans remains unclear especially with different fat diets.This study aimed at evaluating the absorption and distribution of tocotrienols in plasma and lipoproteins in associations with high and low fat diets. Different fat level will affect the absorption and distribution of tocotrienols

Detailed description

There is a possibility that the absorption and distribution of tocotrienols may occur differently compared with tocopherols, especially under different fat status

Conditions

• Absorption

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Tocotrienol	500 mg of tocotrienol will be administered after consumption of high fat diet
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Tocotrienol	500 mg of tocotrienol will be administered after consumption of low fat diet
