Alpha-tocopherol Deficiency

Alpha-Tocopherol Deficiency is a biochemical disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of alpha-tocopherol, the most biologically active form of Vitamin E, resulting in impaired antioxidant protection and neurological dysfunction due to the selective retention and functional specificity of alpha-tocopherol among tocopherols.
