Description

DL-α-Tocopherol acetate is a vitamin E derivative which is often included in the formulations of enteral nutrition.

In Vivo

DL-α-Tocopherol acetate is a vitamin E derivative which is often included in the formulations of enteral nutrition[1]. DL-α-Tocopherol acetate (α-TA) increases tissue cholesterol levels in liver, brian, testis and herart. The brain cholesterol level is much higher than those in other tissues when adjusted by protein level. DL-α-Tocopherol acetate also increases the level of lipid peroxidation in liver, brain, and testis of mice[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.29 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.29 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Animal Administration
[2]

Male mice (specific-pathogen-free, 4 weeks of age) are divided into three groups. They are fed for 4 weeks with the CE2 diet containing one of three different antioxidants, 0.002 wt% DL-α-Tocopherol acetate (α-TA) (n=6), 0.02 wt% α-T (n=6) or 0.02 wt% α-TP(CD3) (n=7), per kilogram of diet. The mice are maintained under standardized conditions of light (7:00 AM to 7:00 PM), temperature (22°C), and humidity (70%). After 4 weeks, they are sacrificed under anesthesia with diethyl ether. The extracted brain, liver, heart, kidney, testis, and lung are homogenized in ice-cold 10 mM phosphate-buffered saline. Blood samples are collected in heparincontaining tubes. The samples are placed on ice immediately after collection. Plasma is obtained by centrifugation at 830 g for 5 min at 4°C and immediately subjected to analysis[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
