Abstract
Take your vitamins, or don't? Vitamin E is one of the few lipophilic vitamins in the human diet and is considered an essential nutrient. Over the years it has proven to be a powerful antioxidant and is commercially used as such, but this association is far from linear in physiology. It is increasingly more likely that vitamin E has multiple legitimate biological roles. Here, we review past and current work using neutron and X-ray scattering to elucidate the influence of vitamin E on key features of model membranes that can translate to the biological function(s) of vitamin E. Although progress is being made, the hundred year-old mystery remains unsolved.
要不要补充维生素？维生素 E 是人类饮食中为数不多的亲脂性维生素之一，被认为是人体必需的营养素。多年来，它已被证明是一种强大的抗氧化剂，并作为一种抗氧化剂用于商业用途。维生素 E 越来越有可能具有多种合理的生物学作用。在这里，我们回顾了过去和现在使用中子和 X 射线散射来阐明维生素 E 对模型膜关键特征的影响的工作，这些影响可以转化为维生素 E 的生物功能。
期刊介绍：
"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science" is an international journal that focuses on experimental and theoretical developments in interfacial and colloidal phenomena. The journal covers a wide range of disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, and technology.
The journal accepts review articles on any topic within the scope of colloid and interface science. These articles should provide an in-depth analysis of the subject matter, offering a critical review of the current state of the field. The author's informed opinion on the topic should also be included. The manuscript should compare and contrast ideas found in the reviewed literature and address the limitations of these ideas.
Typically, the articles published in this journal are written by recognized experts in the field.
